Love Elementary Kindergarteners Create Nursery Rhyme Projects With Families

1 min read

Love Elementary School kindergartners recently created a project with their families as part of a nursery rhyme unit for listening and learning.

The unit introduces students to nursery rhymes and fables such as, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Humpty Dumpty," and "Hickory, Dickory, Dock." Mother Goose and other traditional poems help students learn vocabulary and build phonemic awareness.

By listening to nursery rhymes and repeating and reciting them, kindergartners develop an awareness of language that will help them become better readers and writers.

As a culminating project, Love kindergarten teachers Adriana Cammarata, Renee Salamone and Beth Strong asked parents to create a project with their child using one of the nursery rhymes learned in school. The response showed the many artistic ways students and their families showed how they learned the nursery rhymes both in school and at home.

Starting at /week.
