Read Across America Week

It has been an exciting, and fun week celebrating Dr. Suess. Each day our school had a different theme to celebrate with:

Monday: Mixed up Monday
Tuesday: Lorax Day
Wednesday: Crazy Socks
Thursday: Cat in the Hat
Friday: 1st Grade (Green Eggs and Ham)

Even us teachers got into the themes :)

Throughout the week we did several fun activities and projects that focused on Dr. Seuss. One day we read Oh, the Places You'll Go! After reading the book, each child created themselves and described why they are unique. Here are some of the finished products: 

Cat in the Hat day would not be complete without reading The Cat in The Hat . After reading the book, we completed a step-by-step drawing of the Cat in the Hat. Then each student wrote about what they would do if Thing 1 and Thing 2 came into their house. Here are our finished drawings: 

One day this week, students worked as a group to look up facts about Dr. Seuss using a kid search engine called KidRex. They then wrote about their facts while also including a hook sentence and a closing sentence. Each group chose one of Dr. Seuss' books to illustrate. Here is an example of a finished movie: 

On Friday, after reading Green Eggs and Ham, each child was able to make up their own poem about something that they did not like to eat. Here are two examples:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS!!!
