In between all of our visitors and traveling, we managed to squeeze in some Dr. Seuss fun! After all, he is my favorite children’s author! Like always, I planned way too much and we ran out of time to do it all. I guess it is better to over plan than to under plan, right? I have also been really bad about taking pictures to document our school time lately, so here are just a few from our Dr. Seuss fun!
This is similar to a game I used to play in my classroom called write the room. The kids had to go around and write words they saw in the room on a piece of paper. For Mikayla I hung up Dr. Seuss letter cards. When she found the letter she put an X on that letter on her paper (which was filled with each letter).
Green eggs and ham dinner. Cat in the hat fruit stacks with raspberries and banana slices. I also made biscuits and gravy because I wanted them! We watched the Lorax (the new one) while eating.
She clipped numbered clothespins to the correct box (each box was filled with a different number of Dr. Seuss stickers).
Special Lorax lunch. Lorax was chicken nuggets with cheese mustaches and eyebrows (raisins for the eyes) and Truffala trees (banana slices for the base, pretzel sticks for the trunks, and glace cherries for the tree parts). She ate a double helping of both!!
Cat in the hat stripe game. She rolled the dice and put stripes on the hat, and she even did so in pattern form.
The obligatory Cat in the Hat hat!
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish pattern page – she completed the colored fish patterns.
Dr. Seuss rhyming cards. Each of her friends in the picture had to find their own rhyming match!
Have I mentioned before that I love that my daughter loves Dr. Seuss as much as I do?
