MATH TOOLS TO LOVE!
It's October 1st and you'll find some great news about nursery rhymes on my website (drjean.org) this month. A teacher recently told me that her administrator said, "Don't do nursery rhymes." What??? That administrator hasn't looked at the research!

Rhyme Pops
Make some "rhyme pops" similar to the ones shown by gluing pictures of rhymes to 3" cardboard circles. Attach a jumbo craft stick and keep them in a can. Whenever you have a few extra minutes you can let children choose a rhyme pop and sing or say that rhyme.
Hint! You can sing most rhymes to "Yankee Doodle," "Gilligan's Island," or "100 Bottles of Pop on the Wall."
Nursery Rhyme Rap
I think you'll enjoy this free song download we have for you on my website this month. Sam Williams helped me put this packet together with illustrations from the 3amteacher.com. The song, book, take home book, and activity guide are all yours FREE on my website!!
Nursery Rhyme Halloween
Think about this! Several schools have said that they are not allowed to celebrate Halloween, so they have a NURSERY RHYME PARTY instead. Children dress up as their favorite nursery rhyme character and have muffins (Muffin Man), hard boiled eggs (Humpty Dumpty), cottage cheese (Miss Muffet), haystack cookies (Little Boy Blue), etc.
