The students in Mrs. Reilly’s and Mrs. Vaccaro’s kindergarten classes brought Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, Snow White, and many other nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters to life as they dressed up for Mother Goose Day on October 28.
“Our students have been learning all about how to identify the characters in the classic children’s stories that we are reading,” said Mrs. Reilly. “The children really enjoyed picking their favorite storybook character and coming to school dressed up in their costumes, some of them very creatively designed with help from their parents.”
The Mother Goose Day celebration also included a special snack time in both kindergarten classrooms, where the students enjoyed healthy snacks related to different nursery rhymes, including Humpty Dumpty hard-boiled eggs, Little Boy Blue popcorn, cheese sticks from the cow that jumped over the moon, and Peter Rabbit carrots with dip.
Mrs. Reilly said the Mother Goose Day event culminated a month where the students in both kindergarten classes also learned about the setting of nursery rhymes and rhyming words and enjoyed an outing to Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township, where they had fun picking out the various characters that they had been reading out.
