Nursery Rhymes--Joy School

Today, I tried to teach three year olds the concept of rhyme. No, I didn't go to any child development books to see if this was a concept they could grasp at this age. And I learned that it is not. It was fun to try though. Maybe they caught onto some of it, but their answers were hilarious. We learned about nursery rhymes. First we did Baa, Baa, Black Sheep and glued wool (cotton balls) onto individual sheep templates. They did really well with this. Then we counted 20 of different things so it could be hands on. Then we had free time when my son on steroids (after his allergic reaction) threw the biggest, longest fit in his history (fun). After snack time we learned about Little Miss Muffet and the kids made these movies.

They got little spiders.
Then we did Hickory Dickory Dock and they learned about telling time--when the big hand is on the 12 that is. And then we learned about the letter N and traced and colored their coloring sheets.
It was a fun day--well, besides Max's outburst.
