Seuss Fun!

We have had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss’s contributions to children’s literature this week. I was surprised to see how many Dr. Seuss books the class had not read before so we tried to devote a little more time than usual to read some of his lesser known works. The students have gotten quite good at identifying the different genres of literature so they were happy to point out that Dr. Seuss wrote poems. We worked on rhyming after reading The Cat in the Hat, focused on graphing our snacks after reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and wrote about the foods we don’t like after reading Green Eggs and Ham. On Friday we tied it all together by wearing crazy hats and socks and completing a Cat in the Hat STEM challenge. The class is getting so much better about sharing their ideas and encouraging everyone to participate. We are learning that we haven’t failed just because one plan didn’t work. There was a lot of crashing cups but also a lot of smiles and that is a success!
