We love celebrating Read Across America and the life and work of Dr. Seuss in Kindergarten!
We kicked off Read Across America week by reading many of Dr. Seuss' best loved books including The Cat in the Hat. We enjoyed comparing and contrasting that silly cat's antics in The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Came Back. Then we created our own cats and our own adventures!
The Cat's red hat also inspired a hat themed STEM building challenge!
We met and then created some pretty interesting feet in The Foot Book.
We read about and cooked up some green eggs and ham. Not everyone loved them, but we tried them just like Sam I Am.
We also read about and compared the adventures of Horton the Elephant. The Cat in the Hat inspired us to write some silly stories, but Horton inspired our hearts. After reading about Horton, the selfless protector, we took time to think of some ways that we could be more like Horton.
After a few weeks of living and breathing Seuss in the classroom, we created some of our favorite characters and create classroom graph. We love those Things!!
Kindergarten also had an opportunity to celebrate the universal love of authors everywhere with a fantastic storybook character parade and Seuss themed pep-rally!
