For the past two weeks our class has been learning about Dr. Seuss. In honor of his birthday (March 2nd) we did an author study on him and had a great time! The following are just a few of the books that we read throughout the past two weeks: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, The Cat and the Hat, The Cat and the Hat Comes Back, If I Ran the Zoo, The Sneetches, Yertle the Turtle, Gertrude McFuzz, Green Eggs and Ham, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, Horton Hears a Who, The Foot Book, Hop On Pop, The Loraz and If I Ran the Zoo! Some of us even brought in our own Dr. Seuss books to share with the class. We not only read the books, but we also illustrated our own Dr. Seuss books, made Cat and the Hat hats, ate green eggs, re-enacted Yertle the Turtle using our own self-created turtles, learned from the Lorax and cleaned up the playground, had a Mixed up Monday, a Wacky Wednesday and a Theodore Thursday. This is the tpye of theme that could go on much longer than two weeks so I encourage you to read Dr. Seuss books at home to help your child discover ryhmes and identify site words. Please do not forget to look at the pictures on the website to get a better idea of what we have been up to in class!
**A special thanks to all of the parents who came in to be guest readers. The class LOVED seeing you and we really appreciate you taking time out of your day to come and be with us!**
