Dr. Seuss Week

We love celebrating reading at our school! We do Top Hat Tuesday.  Each student writes words from the _at word family and adds a sentence at the bottom if they can.  They then color in a red and white pattern.  We attach a sentence strip of long construction paper strip to make the hat.

Wacky Wednesday is always fun, too. You never know what these kiddos will wear.

Thursday is Theo Thursday and we also ask THIRD GRADERS to come read to us.  They choose a Dr. Seuss book on their own to read.  I love this so much because the third grade teachers send students that we had in kindergarten back to us to read.  It is wonderful to see my older kids reading to my younger kids.

Friday is FUN FOOD FRIDAY.  We celebrate the week by having green eggs and ham in the morning while our assistant principal reads to us.  In the afternoon, we had birthday cake while the principal read to us.

I also love to integrate the ideas here into our Math Mat Centers. We review our addition skills, greater than/less than/ equal to, and measurement.  The kids love being able to tie things together.

We also ended the week with READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY.  Our local elected officials and emergency workers came and read different books to our students.  I believe there were 28 guest readers in the building on Friday.
