Dr. Seuss Week

We had so much this week celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday.  Our primary team (K-4) got together and decided on themes for each day.  You can check out our daily themes below.  We also made banners for the hallway to keep with the theme.  

We made some super cute tongue twisters on Monday.  I need to get some pictures of the ones we did, but I will have to wait until Monday.  I got the idea from  Fun in First via Pinterest.  They turned out so stinking cute- I can't wait to show you!  We also let the kids make yellow paper mustaches on Wednesday for the Lorax and then took their pictures.  All of my little lovelies thought I had lost my mind when I broke out the iPad and started talking to them with a Lorax mustache.  They each got a turn and I think I laughed even more than they did! 
The Lorax is one of my favorites, so I decided to really go all out for it.  I made these adorable truffula trees for our hallway (complete with the Lorax).  The kids, teachers, and parents all commented on them, so I think they'll stay up for awhile longer.  I also let my students make smaller versions to take home with them.  Aren't they cute??? 



It was such a fun week filled with awesome activities.  We also made oobleck (cornstarch & water), ate green eggs and ham, read more books than I count and ended the week with an awesome birthday party in for Dr. Seuss.  The Cat in the Hat even made an appearance and read a story the kiddos!


Here are a couple of things I made for this fun week.  Feel free to use them!



Did you celebrate a Seuss-tastic week at your school?  If so, tell me what you did.

Dr. Seuss Inspiration

Most teachers that I know love Dr. Seuss.  He was such a fun author!  I found this quote today and decided that I need it in my classroom. 

"Think left and think right and think low and think high.  Oh, the thinks you can think up if you only try!"  -Dr. Seuss

How true is this?  Sometimes I think we, as teachers, get stuck in the rut of following our pre-made curriculum.  They are the same day, after day, after day.... ugh!  Sometimes we (and our students!) need a break from the ordinary.  Now, I know this feeling won't come for awhile since we'll be begging for a routine to get established in the coming weeks.  However, when that routine is set and boredom is threatening your classroom- remember this quote and break out of the ordinary!
