Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss


Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with lots of his wonderful stories, cat in the hat hats, making our own made up character, and making green eggs and ham place mats. We sang happy birthday to him and learned a bit about him. The kids were most interested in the fact that he is dead-oops sorry about the unplanned lesson on death. I just told the kids he was in heaven and he was happy to see them celebrating. ;)
We pointed out a lot of his rhyming words and opposites in his book. We counted how many feet we had at school today after reading The Foot Book.
And we learned the letter Q today by making quilts to go on our queen.
It was a fun day and I look forward to some more Dr. Seuss on Wednesday.
