After spending the last few weeks diving into the wonderful world of classic nursery rhymes, the kinders of TES put their skills to the test in the Nursery Rhyme Olympics!! Students climbed through Itsy Bitsyโs spider web, helped Humpty Dumpty stay balanced through an obstacle course, became Hey Diddle Diddleโs laughing dog in a game of dog tail tag, and even jumped over the moon! Students celebrated at the end by making an Itsy Bitsy Spider yummy snack!
