1. What is nursery rhymes?

A nursery rhyme is a short rhyming story, a song and a poem, often set to music and usually
designed for young children, that conveys a lesson or tells an amusing story.

2. How can children learn from nursery rhymes?

Nursery rhymes are patterns, they help children learn easy recall and memorization. Nursery
rhymes usually tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. This teaches children that
events happen in sequence, and they begin to learn how to understand stories and follow along.

Nursery rhymes are helpful for speech development and language learning. They aid in the
development of auditory skills in children, such as sound recognition and word music ear
training.

Nursery Rhymes for kids lay the foundation to early language and reading skills. Children
who are frequently read and sang to early on, are much more likely to develop strong
reading skills.

Earth Is Our Home

Song by Mother Goose Club
Lyrics
Earth is our home, what a beautiful home.
We love our beautiful home.
Earth is our home and wherever we roam,
We know Earth is our home.
Flowers grow tall, insects so small,
We love our beautiful home.
Songbirds that sing, fit for a king,
We know Earth is our home.
Oceans so blue, oh what a view,
We love our beautiful home.
Trees touch the sky, clouds float on by,
We know Earth is our home.
Earth is our home, what a beautiful home.
We love our beautiful home.
Earth is our home and wherever we roam,
We know Earth is our home.
Ice on the sea with a walrus or three,
We love our beautiful home.
Deserts so dry, weeds tumble by,
We know Earth is our home.
Snow on the ground, hush not a sound,
We love our beautiful home.
Rivers so wide with turtles inside,
We know Earth is our home.
Earth is our home, what a beautiful home.
We love our beautiful home.
Earth is our home and wherever we roam,
We know Earth is our home.
We know Earth is our home.

Meaning: It means Earth provides everything humans and animals need to live. It provides the

Therefore, what we have to do is to start changing our ways, to start recalibrating our minds,
redirecting our steps, because together, as a global community, our micro efforts will have a
macro effect to help save our home, our planet to a safe environment.
