The students in Mrs. Reilly’s and Mrs. Kelley’s kindergarten classes brought Humpty Dumpty, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, and many other nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters to life as they dressed up for Mother Goose Day on October 24.
“Our students have been learning how to identify the characters in the classic children’s stories we are reading,” said Mrs. Reilly. “The children really enjoyed choosing 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 students enjoyed healthy snacks related to different nursery rhymes.
Mrs. Reilly shared that the Mother Goose Day event was the culmination of a month-long unit in which students in both kindergarten classes learned about story settings and rhyming words. The month also included a fun outing to Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township, where students had the chance to find and recognize many of the characters they had been reading about in class.
