Mother Goose On The Loose | Young Scholars Academy

September 17, 2024 by Jordan Leave a Comment

PINTEREST YOUNG SCHOLARS ACADEMY

This week at Young Scholars Academy Colorado Springs we’re exploring the timeless mother goose rhymes! For fun, we’ve named the curriculum week, “Mother Goose On The Loose!” This super simple lesson was made with the intention to be recreated at home!

In this lesson you don’t have to use or purchase new socks like we did, but you can explore other ideas with it like Tie Dye or “oldish” socks as well!

Supplies:

  • Socks, a great pair works! We purchased ours from Walmart; 3 pairs for .98 cents!
  • Fabric markers, also purchased from Amazon; prices range from $15.00-$11.99

Other Ideas from home;

-Glitter, patches, tie dye (as previously mentioned), sewing kit, for those that like to incorporate that skill into their households!

As a class, our Junior Kindergarten classroom read through the well-known nursery rhyme “There Was an Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe.” The infamous old woman was first published in an edition of Mother Goose in 1901. Who knew it would still make an impact to this day! since most of the class was “disgusted” that a woman would live in a stinky shoe, we had them decorate their own socks as a barrier. Behold, their creations!

We decided to dedicate an entire week to nursery rhymes because they can expand to so many different parts of a curriculum! Mother Goose encourages, imagination, sound and phonetic repetition, and even introduces the body structure of poems to young children!

With some emphasis on words, and exaggerations, the kids were more than ready to decorate their own socks come academic center time!  If you try this lesson at home, we’d love to hear how much fun your kids had with it!

Encourage them to decorate however they’d like!
