  1. Jennifer Sherald –

    I just took the LIT102: Building Literacy Through Nursery Rhymes and Children’s Poetry course and my note taking pages were FILLED with notes! I have always used nursery rhymes in my class, but this course affirmed why they are helpful, and how they benefit our students. I made sure to add more nursery rhyme activities into our preschool day and my students have been enjoying them. My favorite quote from the course was, “In ECE we do not study poems, we play with them,” and I could not agree more. We have done nursery rhymes in the block center, on our felt board, re-telling them with small props, and acting them out. I would recommend this course to all early childhood educators.
