Kindergarten Students Enjoy Storybook Land Trip, Mother Goose Day Celebration

Our kindergarten classes enjoyed a fun-filled day at Storybook Land on Friday, October 7 and the following Tuesday celebrated Mother Goose Day — two favorite fall activities that helped our students learn all about the role of characters in nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or other story.

At Storybook Land, the students spent the day identifying characters from favorite stories, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and Humpty Dumpty. They rode the nursery-rhyme themed rides, went on a hayride, and picked and decorated pumpkins. Thank you to our kindergarten teachers and aides, and our parent chaperones for helping make great memories with our students.

On Mother Goose Day, the students dressed up like Snow White and her dwarfs, Little Miss Muffet, Little Bo Peep, Jack in the Beanstalk, Jack and Jill, and other favorite nursery rhyme or fairy-tale characters and paraded through the school hallways and visited elementary classrooms. During their classroom visits, students were challenged to name the characters that the students represented based on their costumes.

Mother Goose Day concluded with students enjoying parties in their classrooms, featuring healthy versions of food linked to the nursery rhymes, including Humpty Dumpty hard boiled eggs, Peter Rabbit carrots, and Jack and Jill water to drink.

 

 

Kindergarten Students Bring Storybook Characters to Life for Mother Goose Day

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.
