Dr. Seuss Week

This past week was Dr. Seuss week at our school. We did lots of fun activities from my Dr. Seuss Math and Literacy pack! You can find it at my Tpt store or my TN store.

We did reading groups all week long:

At our school we also do a little contest for birthday banners for Dr. Seuss.  The winning class gets books for their classroom library. Our banner was inspired by a picture that I found on pinterest:

Here is our banner:

We used our “Things” from my Dr. Seuss activity set and wrote rhyming words on the tummies:

it’s hard to read… but the tummy says “dog and log”. The kids had to come up with their own rhyming words!!!!

Now, I’m pretty sure that my class won’t be winning because look at this CUTENESS that one of the kindergarten classes put together!!!!

This para is SO talented!!! shh I think she used to be an ART teacher!!!

On Friday we had Character Dress-Up Day and I forgot my stinkin’ camera!!!!! Geez!!! But, I was a Green Bellied Sneetch for character dress-up day and I had tons of Cat in the Hats, Cindy Lou Whos, Sallys, etc.

It was such a fun week!!!

Check back here on Friday for some St. Patrick’s Day “FUN FINDS” and a GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Friday Fun Finds with Dr. Seuss

Hey Everyone!!! Today's "Fun Finds" are all about the one and only, Dr. Seuss!

Celebrating Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite times of the year :) I've decided to turn my Friday "Fun Finds" into a linky party, so if you have any fun ideas for Dr. Seuss week, I would love it if you would link up!

Usually we do a whole week of school-wide activities.  Every day has a different theme. Crazy socks day, hat day, twin day, backwards day, and, my FAVORITE, Character Dress-up day!

Did I say I LOVE Dr. Seuss week???

Well here are some fun finds that you could use in your classroom (I know I will be using in mine!!!)

I saw this and thought it would be a fun writing activity to do with the kids.  They could write about a place they would like to go.

I found this last year from the AMAZING Cara Carroll over at http://www.thefirstgradeparade.com/ and I used it with "The Foot Book" soooo much fun!
