Ever wonder where those nursery rhymes you learned as a kid have gone?  Well, we have them and are bringing them back!  Learn hands-on ways to use these old time favorites to inspire young learners through literacy, math, science and much more.  This class will take a look at a variety of nursery rhymes and provide teachers with ready-to-go resources to help make them a dynamite part of their curriculum.  All activities presented will be based upon developmentally appropriate practices and will be presented in a child-friendly manner.  Come ready to reminisce and be creative!  Nursery rhymes have taught countless lessons in the past and continue to provide wonderful literacy opportunities for young learners.

Ideas presented will be used to create classroom resources during a "Make and Take" session.  These resources will include, but are not limited to : interactive charts, templates for classroom books, math and literacy centers, games, poems and songs.  Participants should be prepared to bring supplies to be used during the "Make and Take" session.  A supply list will be mailed with acceptance letter.  This class will include a trip to a teacher store to purchase additional materials needed.
