Dr. Seuss

We had so much fun reading Dr. Seuss books and doing fun activities getting ready for his birthday and Read Across America day. I found a million cute ideas on pinterest! We read The Foot Book then traced our feet and wrote antonyms on each foot, including a picture. We read The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and did some sequencing and venn diagram comparisons. One of the biggest hits of the week was definitely the day we read Green Eggs and Ham. We made predictions about whether or not we would like it, tasted it, and then graphed the results! Only half said they liked it on our graph, but most of the kids were getting seconds and thirds so I'm pretty sure they were enjoying it quite a bit!

On Friday, to wrap things up, we had "Seuss Juice" (recipe and how-to writing found on thefirstgradeparade) and starting an opinion writing piece about what our favorite Dr. Suess book was. It was a fun week!
