Thanks to 2nd Grade Pad for hosting a linky party of our favorite freebies! I was just about to post this freebie today. So I will link-up. But I have to add a little bit of back story to my freebie. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
The students decided they could say "Humpty Dumpty sat on a chair. Humpty Dumpty had blue hair." Another one was "Humpty Dumpty sat in a tree. Humpty Dumpty got stung by a bee." We made these into a book and they really enjoyed rereading them. Here is one example.
At the end of the year, we held a mystery for the students. They looked at objects from different nursery rhymes. They had to use the clues to determine what nursery rhyme they belonged to. It was a lot of fun and actually challenging for some of our first graders.
That brings us to THIS year!
Since I started Title, I have been throwing a literacy night at the beginning of the year. The first one was a B..O..M..B! But each year has been a little better. This year it is called "Curious About Rhymes?" (thanks to my curious friend, Maria, aka the queen of titles). When families arrive they will receive a nursery rhyme book and a "notebook." We will start off the night with a Prezi about nursery rhymes.

Eight trays will make their way around the room. Each tray will contain "clues" for a nursery rhyme. Families will write down the clues in their "notebook" and solve the mystery.

The night will end with some free pizza! And some book giveaways!
I need to make a shout out to my husband! He worked really hard on all the illustrations for the nursery rhyme book! Thank you so much. I absolutely love them. And that is why it makes this my favorite freebie that I have made so far!
Are you curious about rhymes?
