Three Little Kitten & Their Little Mittens

Preschool students have been diving into the classic nursery rhyme “Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens,” and it has been such a purr-fect way to blend storytelling and hands-on learning! Using magnets from our Frog Street curriculum, the children retold the story from beginning to end. They practiced remembering key details, sequencing events, and using expressive language as they moved the characters through the rhyme. Watching them proudly share the story in their own words was a wonderful reminder of how learning truly comes alive through play!
To extend the activity, students explored math and critical-thinking skills by sorting mittens by size. They compared big and small mittens, talked about similarities and differences, and strengthened early classification skills—all while staying engaged in the theme of the rhyme.
From storytelling to sorting, this classic nursery rhyme gave our learners the chance to build literacy, math, and confidence in a fun and meaningful way. We love seeing our kittens keep track of their mittens and their learning! 💙

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Our classrooms have been filled with stories, songs, and smiles as students explore stories and rhymes this week! One favorite was the classic poem “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” As they listened, our little learners were encouraged to join in—rowing their arms back and forth and singing along with excitement. This playful rhyme helped children build early literacy skills while also supporting rhythm, movement, and listening. Through songs like this, students learn that stories can be fun, interactive, and full of imagination. We loved watching their confidence grow as they joined in and became part of the story!
