Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse went up the clock,
The clock struck one, the mouse ran down.
Hickory Dickory Dock.
We memorized the rhyme and also have been practicing making our own rhyming words. We also discussed telling time on a clock. We always keep the big hand on the 12 and practice just moving the little hand to tell time.
Hey Diddle the Cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon.
The Little Dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
We learned about the different phases of the moon and then they got to use moon and star stamps to make a picture.
Such a cute picture! I love the dish and the spoon :)
Next up:
Star Light, Star Bright
First Star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
We did a fun little art project. First I had to teach the kids how to make stars. Then they drew stars on their paper with white or yellow crayons. Afterwards you have them paint over with blue or black paint. They love watching their stars, moons, rockets and whatever else they made magically appear. Just make sure you do the crayon pretty heavy or else they don't show up as well.
Our last nursery rhyme was:
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a Tuffet
Eating her curd and Whey.
Along came a spider who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet Away.
For this activity it was cooking day and so we made spiders:
The recipe is
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 Tablespoons powder sugar
2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers.
Add a little milk to mix them together well. Roll dough in coconut if desired. I really liked it with coconut and it made the spider look more hairy. But some kids didn't want it. Then roll into balls and add raisins for eyes and licorice for legs. This makes one spider.
This guy didn't have all 8 legs.
