Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration

Here are some pictures from our celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday over the past 2 days.  Most are from our rotations yesterday. In my haste to finish as much as I could before having to dismiss the kiddos early today due to the possibility of inclement weather, I was only able to snap a few pictures of the costumes and birthday cupcake decorating this morning.  

In my Rotation, we focused on Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.  We estimated the number of Goldfish crackers in a goldfish bowl (607), read the story, and made red and blue Jell-O Jiggler fish.  





Then, the students visited Mrs. Brown's room, where the focus switched to The Cat in the Hat.  They read the story, made hats, and a Cat in the Hat cookie/candy treat.  





From there, the kiddos traveled to Mrs. Shartzer's room.  There they read Bartholomew and the Oobleck, discussed the states of matter (as 'oobleck' is both a solid and a liquid at the same time!), then made and played in their own "oobleck".  




For their last Rotation, the students visited Mrs. Holmes' room to read Green Eggs and Ham, and then sample the concoction to decide for themselves whether or not they liked them.

Aren't they precious?
