AllAboutIrish - Limericks Ironically, some of the earliest Limericks are quite English. The popularchildren s nursery rhyme about a mouse and a clock is an example http://allaboutirish.com/library/lit/limericks.shtm
Extractions: Remember those silly ditties we were studied in English class as a way to learn about rhyming patterns in poetry? They all seemed to start the same way, something like, "There once was a lady from Boston" How did a poetic form that reaches back to Shakespeare pick up such an Irish name? Sadly, there's really no conclusive evidence to explain how the name of the lovely city of Limerick, on the River Shannon in the west of Ireland became associated with such zany rhymes. Encyclopedia Britannica credits Langford Reed with an explanation. Reed's theory, from his 1925 work The Complete Limerick Book, was that when the Irish Brigade returned from fighting in France in the 18th century, they brought with them a song whose chorus began, "Will you come up to Limerick?" Over time, the Limerick evolved into a silly, nonsensical form of poetry, sometimes "clean", and apt to bring giggles from children, but at other times quite raucous or even obscene. The poems are always five lines long, with a rhyming pattern of AABBA. A familiar lilting rhythm flows from the pattern of syllables. The first, second and fifth lines not only rhyme but have the same number of syllables, from eight to 11. The third and fourth lines rhyme and have between four and seven syllables each. Typically the content of the lines is also predictable:

Extractions: Dive into Reading Don't you just love good books? I do... As a teacher, stories are the centerpiece or focal point when it comes to lesson planning. Since I am a thematic, center-based teacher it just makes sense for me to plan my lessons around literature. If you don't teach this way, you don't know what you're missing. It's so much fun and the kids love all of the activities! I read two stories a day. I try to read something at circle time; such as a poem, weekly reader or a story. I also have a separate story time where we take a picture walk through the book, make predictions, expand our vocabularies, write responses to the book, discuss story elements and do comprehension activities. So, everyday kids are reading or being read to several times a day. When you read books during story time, this is a great opportunity to teach character development, phonemic awareness, listening skills, comprehension, science facts, history, math concepts and many other skills and concepts. Now, if you're not used to teaching this way it may seem overwhelming. But, here is how I cover all of my objectives:

I know she's having bad dreams. She's always been terrified of the dark. Is it safe to install a night light or will it harm her eyes? " I can remember as a child awakening in the night absolutely terrified. I was sure there was a man standing beside my bed, but I couldn't move. When I finally did manage to break free, I'd scream and bring my parents running. I've only recently learned that I suffered from a disorder called sleep paralysis. Other nights I had terrifying nightmares with the same result - sleep disruption for child and parents. Like many children, I was terrified of the dark. I'd take a flying leap from the bedroom door and land in the middle of my bed. I was sure there was a monster beneath the bed. It's a small miracle I never rammed my head through the wall!
Home PC Encarta Guy Fawkes Article a cook had accidentally mixed and lit three common In this celebrated nursery rhyme,the Gunpowder Plot is into the young minds of children Remember, remember http://www.microsoft.com/uk/homepc/articles/guy_fawkes.asp
Extractions: On 5 November bonfires, effigies and fireworks will be everywhere as Britain remembers its most infamous traitor - Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot conspirator caught red-handed in the House of Lords cellar in 1605 while about to blow up Parliament and the king in order to rid the country of its Protestant rulers and restore the Catholic faith. Guy Fawkes' Night, or Bonfire Night, today has many customs, but how many are linked to the capture of Fawkes and his fellow plotters? The most obvious link would appear to be the effigy, or 'guy', named after Fawkes, the rag-bag of old clothes and newspaper customarily burnt atop a bonfire. The tradition started in 1606, but the effigy burnt until 1806 was not, in fact, Fawkes but Pope Paul V, who after the Gunpowder Plot refused to allow Catholics to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown. So, presumably, the traditional cry of 'Penny for the guy, mister?' was never uttered by children until relatively recently. However, in earlier centuries children were allowed free rein at this time as the night before Guy Fawkes' Night was known as Mischief Night, when groups of young children roamed their neighbourhood looking for mischief and playing pranks. Children would also blacken their faces as Guy Fawkes might have done when he waited to blow up Parliament. Mischief Night is these days no more, although such vandalism and harassment might now be recognised as an everyday occurrence.

Extractions: Talk with your child. There is no substitute for time spent talking with your child about experiences and ideas of interest. Remember that talking "with" your child is quite different from talking "at" your child. Even young infants, who cannot yet produce speech, benefit from adults' talking with them. Also, it is important to provide children with appropriate language and usage. Although imitating a child's attempts at language has a role, it is important to provide a child with the appropriate use of language as well to support his or her growth in using language. Listen to your child. Be patient. Allow time for thoughts to be completed. What children want to say is important to them, and you will learn from what they have to say. This is particularly important with the youngest children, who have limited words to express complex thoughts. For example, shortly after children use their first words, a period occurs where they use groups of two words to convey the meaning adults put into entire sentences. By patiently allowing your child to "get the words out," you can then interpret what the child is trying to say.
Children's Literature: Chris Van Allsburg The widow, however, does have two children, and Chris can provide others with Chrishas also been musing about variations on classic nursery rhymes, many of http://www.childrenslit.com/f_vanallsburg.html
Extractions: When I had an opportunity to interview Chris Van Allsburg (December 13, 2002), he was on the final part of a tour that had started November 1st. He was so calm and relaxed and very smartly dressed (we women do notice coordinated clothes and color choices), that I was amazed as I listened to him describe the crisscrossing of the country that he had done during the preceding six weeks. He did tell me that his family had joined him on tour in Detroit to celebrate Thanksgiving with other relatives. After our dinner that evening, he was scheduled for another author event at a local bookstore and then again the next morning for an event at the Smithsonian Museum. Then it was off by train to New York and the Bronx Zoo. Why the zoo? To ride the new Polar Express that that has been inaugurated there. (Chris told me that the original one set up in Connecticut has become so popular that tickets are now awarded by lottery.) The big question, of course, is what triggered this new book, Zathura after so many years since the publication of Jumanji Zathura , he has the boys come to the table with a different set of problems, ones that could be resolved. Chris believes that his work is something new and that he is not exploiting himself.

Extractions: by Jessica Samons A lullaby, a favourite toy, the smell of your mother's hair - these are things that invoke memories. We all have memories. Your pre-schooler is constantly experiencing his world and creating memories. Improving memory is a cognitive growth and the pre-school years are a great time to help your pre-schooler enhance his memory development. Here are some activities you can carry out. Using Familiar Books Reading familiar books can serve as a memory tool for your child. Reading aloud to your child exposes them to language skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. When your child asks you to read a book again and again, they are using repetition to learn the story by memory. Although repetition may not directly improve memory, it does give your child the ability to retell the story. Recall does improve memory development. As you read the book together, point out the words as you read and have your child "read" along from memory. Using a familiar book, test their memory by asking what happens next. Encourage your child to retell their favourite stories while cooking dinner or while driving in the car.
