Mother Goose!

Well y'all, it's that time of year again where one of our most favorite visitors comes to see us. We absolutely adore Mother Goose! She comes with lots of fun and exciting props, songs, books, and activities for all of our kiddos to engage in. Mother Goose really brings out the magic of literacy, and gets these kiddos belly laughing like no other. We had quite a few teachers that were just captivated by her as well, and just could not contain their joy and laughter. One of the best parts about summer at The Academy is all of the fun special guests that we get to visit with, and Mother Goose is one of those visitors that we will book over and over again because she is continuously bringing joy to our precious kiddos. She put on such a fun interactive show for the kids to teach them about the ocean, who lives there, what they do, and how we can protect the sea! The kids got to sing and learn about whales, dolphins, crabs, penguins, lobsters, turtles, and so much more! Our friends loved getting to dive into this learning experience and help Mother Goose with her show along the way. Our friends got to count sea creatures, hear a story about two funny pelicans, and some special volunteers got to help put on a puppet show at the end! This was a really fun and interactive way to learn about sea creatures and how to protect our ocean. I've gotta say too, the kiddos that went to volunteer with Mother Goose.....THE cutest ever! We will never get bored of Mother Goose and we are so incredibly grateful to her for always wanting to come and love on our kiddos and teach them new songs, new stories, and get them up and moving and excited to learn!
