Did you celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday this week? I usually have at least one entire day devoted to it, but I just couldn't find the time this year. So we just did a couple simple things today and it was still a lot of fun. Also, the group I have this year does not do well when things are too...shall we say...fun-based. They do not see or comprehend the fine line between having fun and being completely crazy, know what I mean? Yeah. I know you do.
Today we read The Cat in the Hat and did a directed drawing of the cat. I think they turned out cute. When they finished, I told the kids to write some --at words. Then, we made a hat to wear and on each stripe was an --at word. I didn't take pictures of the hats, but they were super simple and the kids looked really cute walking around in them.
Later, we read and watched a DVD of Green Eggs and Ham. It was a much simplified version of my past Seuss days, but sometimes you just can't squeeze everything in! I had a sub yesterday so I could attend a Common Core training so today was a bit of a catch-up day as well. And yet another reason I didn't want to do anything too crazy!
