Mother Goose at Jowell ES

Continuing an annual tradition at Jowell ES, Principal Dr. Julie Manuel dressed up as Mother Goose to recite Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes to prekindergarten and kindergarten students this month. 

“Here at Jowell, everybody does their part with teaching students the skills required for each grade level,” said Jowell librarian Alpha Cruz Lopez. “Everyone works diligently and fervently for the progress of the students.”

In addition to reading, Dr. Manuel teaches the students about rhyming words and how the nursery rhymes fit into song form. 

While Mother Goose consultants and presenters can cost more than $1,000 to hire to present at schools, Jowell has an inside track. 

“Jowell Elementary is immensely lucky to have such a loving and giving principal as Dr. Julie Manuel, a.k.a. Mother Goose,” Cruz Lopez said.
