Dr. Seuss Fun

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

If you know me even a little bit, you know I love Dr. Seuss!  It is perhaps one of my favorite units I teach all year long.  I love Dr. Seuss so much that when I saw this dress on Etsy, I had to have it for my little lady.  Doesn’t she just look cute?  Thanks Aunt Christa for an early birthday gift!

At school last week, we went Dr. Seuss crazy!  So crazy that my assistant even commented, "You said you loved Dr. Seuss, but I have never seen someone love him so much!"  I didn’t get pictures of everything, but here are a few of my favorites.

The Shape of Me and Other Stuff self portraits.  They named themselves Dr. ___(insert first name) Seuss.  They turned out really cute!

After reading Horton Hears a Who we made "oo" words into silly faces.  We also made Horton contraction ears.  I failed to snap a picture of these.

On Wednesday we had a birthday party for Dr. Seuss.  Complete with a guest read aloud of Wacky Wednesday (another teacher at school that does skits in morning assembly), the cutest Dr. Seuss cake (made by a fantastic and very talented mom), and Pink Yink Ink Drinks.  We even got to watch a little Horton Hears a Who.

Then the same mom who made the Dr. Seuss birthday cake, surprised me with my very own Dr. Seuss themed birthday cake (my birthday was on Monday).  So sweet!

One last shot of the cutey, delicious cake!

Mikayla got in on the Dr. Seuss fun too, but I will save those details for a later post!  It was a great week, but between everything else going on I was exhausted and definitely ready for the weekend.

A Long Day…

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

Today was a long day at work.  It started out okay, but about 10:00 we were asked to take our kids to the hall for a "severe weather drill".  In case you haven’t been in one recently here is what it looks like.  First, you cram a hundred or so K-3 students in a small hallway.  Then you have them get down on their hands and knees, tucking knees in under chest.  Then you have them duck and cover their heads with their hands.  All while not talking or moving.  Are you kidding me??  This is hard enough for an adult to do, not to mention this many kids under the age of ten.  We were this way for about 20-30 until we got the "all clear".  My kids were so confused asking why we were practicing for so long!  This was drill one.

Then, while my kiddos were walking through  the lunch line we got called for another "severe weather drill"…I think my kids were catching on at this point that it wasn’t a drill anymore!  So we quickly left their trays where they were and headed to the gym.  This time it was much harder to keep them in the right position and still for the thirty minute block.  Now, while this may not seem like it is exhausting work, keep in mind that the schedule was now way off, the kids were feeling the chaos and the day was only half over.  Oh and did I mention we had a fun assembly with Woody the Weiner Dog this morning?  Yeah, add all that together and it was a pretty hectic day!  However, despite the chaos, these cuties made it all better when I got home!
