Circle Time at Home: "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep"

teacher talking about nursery rhyme

Home Learning | Circle Time at Home

“Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” is a very old English nursery rhyme that is still used today to teach young children about the concept of rhyme. A local educator teaches the rhyme within a story format and includes a focus on characteristics of the sheep. A local family shares how parent and child can play a fun color recognition game using an ever changing colorful sheep. Practicing the alphabet helps to complete our Circle Time at Home! Grades: Preschool and Kindergarten.
