These kids in the hat know a lot about that! We celebrated in style this week, Suess style! Dr. Suess had a birthday on March 2nd, so our week was filled with reading, counting, and trying to rhyme.......all of the time!
These hats were a perfect way to practice saying and spelling our -at rhyming words.
We couldn't celebrate a birthday without a little cake and ice cream! So, we practiced our counting and patterning skills while we were at it.
We read and discussed a bunch of Dr. Suess books this week. A great counting practice book of his is "Ten Apples Up on Top". We then made this craft with the tiger from the story with 5 apples up on top of his head. This is the number he first has when he is introduced in the book.
We went on an alphabet hunt too! This worksheet had every uppercase letter of the alphabet hidden in the picture. They did a great job identifying each letter, and crossing it off the list of letters on the bottom of the page.
We also just had to have a books center this week! Filled with many of Dr. Suess' classic books, of course!
I themed all of my centers off of one of his books, so this math center contained a monkey balancing scale where he held the same amount of bananas on each arm, and barrel of monkeys to practice our counting. This center went along with the book "Hand, hand, fingers, thumb" by Al Perkins. Not all books were written by Suess, but everyone has his stamp of approval on it, as they are part of his Beginner book series.
You can never have too much letter review! This center was a slam dunk! There was a ball with each letter of the alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase, and the kids tossed the balls into the corresponding hoop.
And, one of my favorites about Dr. Suess week......oobleck. This green infamous goo is so neat because it is both a solid and a liquid. The kids can form it into their hands to make different shapes, and then it quickly melts back into a liquid as they stop forming it and watch it transform. You can easily make this at home using:
2 cups cornstarch
1 cup water
food coloring
Loads of fun!!!
Dr. Suess characters matching games and card games!
Dr. Suess wasn't the only birthday we celebrated this week! We also had fun with this beautiful and sweet 5 year old!
Happy Birthday Aicsenna!
It is just a blast to see all of the fun, spunky, and individualized posters each week. This weeks stars were no exception with their awesome posters and personalities!
Meet the silly and sweet Levi!

this gorgeous grinning girly, Hilary!
