NURSERY RHYME OF THE DAY: The list of fun, familiar rhymes includes Humpty Dumpty, Star Light, Jack Be Nimble, Jack Sprat, Hickory Dickory Dock, Three Blind Mice, Hey Diddle Diddle, Little Jack Horner. WORD CARDS: Each day, students are introduced to three new words which are reinforced with an activity such as rhyming, opposites or ABC order. CLOZE ACTIVITY: Students complete the sentence and create a picture for each rhyme.
