Dr. Seuss Days!

We had an amazing week of Dr. Seuss activities over in Kinder-land!


We focused on a book a day, but I supplemented with others for read alouds.  There are just too many good ones!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

We made a shape book of words that rhyme with fish.

Click on the fish black line picture to go to the site that has shape books.

I manipulated it to make the mini book.

Click picture for shape book master.

We drew an underwater scene and wrote about what we could find in the water.

Mrs. T gave us a great idea to create an underwater scene that illustrated the title.  The kids could choose to draw and cut out their own fish or use a fish template to trace.

The Cat in the Hat

We made hats and bow ties.  

We wrote about what would happen if Thing 1 and Thing 2 came to our houses!

If I Ran the Zoo

Before reading we brainstormed about what we knew about zoo, and what kinds of animals live there.

Koala-Dog

After we read the book, we created a class animal.  It was a ladybug-elephant-cheetah.  Then we wrote a sentence to describe it.  

Then the kids got to create and write about the animal they would find for their own zoo!

Dinomite

Green Eggs and Ham

We graphed before we read.  

Do you THINK you'll like green eggs and ham?

And after...

Did you like green eggs and ham?

I was very surprised!  Everyone tried and LOVED the green eggs and ham!!

We had lots and lots of fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday this week!

I couldn't bring myself to eat the green eggs...Could you?
