It’s Mother Goose Day! Share These Lesser Known Rhymes With Your Kids
May 1st is Mother Goose Day!
It’s a good time to cuddle up with your little honey bunnies and share some classic nursery rhymes by that talented lady.
Actually, that lady’s name should be “Anonymous” because the Mother Goose rhymes were written by a collection of unknown men and women over a period of many years. These simple verses were passed down from one generation to the next and came to be known by tradition as “Mother Goose Rhymes.”
In the Mother Goose books which we find today, we come to know characters like “Little Boy Blue” and “Little Bo Peep.” But I had to ask myself, “Are there other characters and rhymes that aren’t so commonly known?” I decided to go on a hunt to find out and was pleasantly surprised to find that there are quite a large number of rhymes that go back a century or more. I thought that some of these gems would be the perfect present to share with you today on Mother Goose Day. So here they are. Enjoy! Read more…
Celebrate National Tell A Story Day This April 27th
This Saturday is National Tell A Story Day.

Celebrate Poetry Month and Earth Day Together with These Classic Poems
April is Poetry Month and April 22nd is Earth Day.
I don’t know about you, but I like to combine things whenever it is convenient as a time saver. Sometimes it can work out quite well to do two or more different subjects together with one lesson. With Earth Day and Poetry Month, you can easily kill two birds with one stone by sharing some poems about the Earth with your children.
How convenient.
Thankfully, there are some wonderful poems about the Earth and other aspects of God’s creation which are perfect for both Earth Day and Poetry Month.
Here are three classics that I found that you might enjoy using in your homeschool today. I’ve thrown in some discussion questions for you as a bonus. Read more…
