In our classroom, our dramatic play area was turned into Seussville. Children were able to serve or get a meal at the Green Eggs and Ham cafe. Items on the menu include Pink Ink Drink, green eggs and ham and schlopp with a cherry on top. Students could also practice balancing by stacking different sized hats (cups) or seeing how many turtles high they measure.
In the playdoh center, children built Truffula Trees.
This week at the sensory table there was rice with funnels and tubes.
We read several Dr. Seuss books this week and sang a song in his honor. After reading Green Eggs and Ham, the children helped to make this dish so that we could all try it together. While most agreed the eggs didn't look very appealing, many of the students were pleasantly surprised with how good they tasted (just like the book!).
The Cat in the Hat came to visit, greeting the children as they arrived. Although some of the children were unsure when they first met the Cat, he visited our classroom and everyone was excited to give him a high five.
In gym, the children engaged in a Dr. Seuss obstacle course with activities from many of his books.
The Cat in the Hat: Run around cones fast like Thing One and Thing Two
Yertle the Turtle: Crawl across two mats slow like a turtle.
Hop on Pop: Jump on the trampoline.
Ten Apples Upon on Top: Practice balancing apples (bean bags) on your head while walking across a wooden beam.
Green Eggs and Ham: While holding a ball and two bean bags (eggs and ham) on a frisbee (plate) walk to the cone and back.
One Fish, Two Fish: Scoot around on your belly and pretend you are swimming.
The Foot Book: Use your foot to dribble a ball to a cone and back.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
