Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!
March 2 is the anniversary of Dr. Seuss's birthday! Try the ideas below to set the stage for Seuss-style fun, and use these engaging activities to commemorate his work of creating entertaining books for children.
Your kids will like them, you will see. The focus is FUN, yes sirree!
Today we read “Cat in
the Hat”
The Cat in the Hat and
his friends have some unusual problem-solving strategies! Encourage your
students to put their own problem-solving skills to use.
For example: How would
you clean up spots in your room?
You can point out how
the characters tried to clean the spots and how some of their strategies were
unsafe.
We also made the
following craft below. I used this as a
follow directions craft and we also reviewed patterns with the hat.
On Tuesday we
will read “One Fish, Two Fish, Blue Fish, Red Fish”
Below is the
craft we do with this book.
I trace each
students hands on each color (red, blue, green and yellow) and cut them out. For older students, they can trace each others
hands and cut out the hands.
On Wednesday, we will read “Wacky Wednesday”
and dress wacky!
On Thursday we will read “Green Eggs and Ham” Did you say, “Green Eggs and Ham?” Is there
such a thing? My youngsters will brainstorm a list of places green eggs and ham
could come from or ways it might be made.
We will then have a special snack “green eggs and ham”.
On Friday, we will review all books read
during the week. We will review the
characters, talk about the rhyming words, and discuss the difference between
real and not real events.
I hope you enjoy spending your time with
Wheels on The Bus Preschool Learning, where there is always an adventure!
Weekly Preschool Funnies: we have been out due
to snow ( we missed 4 days this past week). One of my students told me that I had
been gone for ages.
