Mother Goose

   This month our Field Trip Friday was a big hit with all of our SMART START friends. Mother Goose came to visit! The children love preparing for their on site fields trip by putting on their SMART START t-shirts and smiles. Mother Goose engaged the children by telling classic nursery rhymes, singing songs, having the children get up and dance and putting on a puppet show. The children sang along, danced together while holding hands, and played happily with the assortment of props that Mother Goose brought. SMART START was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter throughout the day!  

   We loved having Mother Goose and the children learned so much! Be sure to ask your child about what songs and nursery rhymes they learned. This is a great way to engage your little one and continue the learning process at home! Here's a classic to help get you and your child started...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the King's horses, and all the King's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Experts In literacy and child development have discovered that

if children know eight nursery rhymes by the time they're

four years old, they're usually among the best readers

by the time they're eight.
