Collaboration Friday: Monster Goose Vs. Mother Goose

Your favorite Nursery Rhymes have been transformed into creepy, scary, icky tales in the book Monster Goose by Judy Sierra.


Mary had a Vampire Bat, There was an Old Zombie who Lived in a Shoe, & Twinkle Twinkle Little Slug are just a few of the titles represented in this creepy, fun book!  Students at Castleberry Elementary School had the opportunity to enjoy a Google hangout with Monster Goose & Mother Goose.  Each took turns sharing their version of infamous Nursery Rhymes.





Following the Google Hangout, we compare and contrasted the original Mother Goose rhymes to the Monster Goose Rhymes. 




Students found that the setting changed, the problem changed, and some of the characters changed in many of the rhymes Monster Goose shared with us. Although many things were different, there were many similarities including the main characters and rhyming lyrics. After each story the students voted on their favorite rhyme. Monster Goose was vary popular and prevailed on most stories, but there were many students that were Mother Goose fans and would even cheer for her after each story.

In addition to our Monster Goose Vs. Mother Goose activity, we enjoyed Character Parade at CE. The Specials team enjoyed sharing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle books with the students.  One of my personal favorites in the parade was Ms. Richerson's class. They depicted Henry and the Bucaneer Bunnies!!  This is one of my favorite books to read to students in regards to the importance of books and reading!




The Theme in the library this year is Minecraft! Many students enjoy playing Minecraft and instantly feel welcome in the library! 

At book parade, there were even Minecraft themed outfits!  This student was a Mathelete representing the Bluebonnet Nominee book Mathelete Vs. Athelete!

And of course, we can't forget about Creeper!!  One of our CE students found me at my church's fall festival and we had to get our picture taken together!
