More Dr. Seuss - as promised :)

Yay! I remembered to take pictures of some of our fun Dr. Seuss week activities :)

The Cat in the Hat - 100s chart picture/mosaic:

The Cat gets a New Hat art activity with do-a-dot markers:

Oh the Thinks you can Think following directions paper craft:
These were fun! We also practiced making them "Think left and Think right, Think low and Think high" by moving all kinds of Dr. Seuss characters around on the white board with those labels!

 

 Anyone who knows me knows I cannot stand touching feet! But, I couldn't resist the combo of "The Foot Book" and "The Cat in the Hat" art project - each of my kiddos got to make another cat hat out of their footprints!

Here's another quick activity with The Foot Book - labeling, cutting, gluing, and reading/rhyming practice :)

This week was lots of fun!
Oh! I almost forgot my Cat in the Hat inspired bulletin board ---

Each picture in the window is a copy of a photo of my students reading a Dr. Seuss book with a rhyme like "I love to read in a boat! I love to read with a goat!" They have loved naming their friends' pictures and the animals chosen to read with them all week and I gotta say I'm pretty proud of this one!

Til next time...

Dr. Seuss "Pin-spirational" Stuff

So, I went to pick my daughter up at daycare on Friday and saw that they are diving into the Dr. Seuss birthday celebration and Read Across America Day/Literacy Month theme too! I had just talked with my student council members about helping our school librarian promote Literacy Week activities and get their classmates involved, so I was already planning a Dr. Seuss week instructional unit in my head! I spend lots of time over the weekend planning for this week, and I sent home a few things today without taking pictures - I'll try to remember tomorrow! - but I wanted to go ahead and share Caylee's artwork inspiration from her daycare!

I think my kiddos get a little tired of me always asking them to do handprint artwork, so we read One fish two fish red fish blue fish this morning with some rhyming and labeling practice!

How cute is this "Green Eggs and Ham" activity!?? It's pretty simple, we'll try to squeeze it in later this week, but I just realized I don't have this book in my classroom library! How did that happen!??

And the Lorax's mustache of course! One of my favorite activities planned for this week (I think Friday) - we're going to make a Truffula tree out of a pool noodle, tape, and tissue paper then take pictures holding it with Lorax mustaches! CAN-NOT WAIT for that one!

More pictures to come, as promised!
