Seussville was all a flutter this morning to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss!  We started off by wearing mismatched clothes and wacky socks to school and having breakfast.  We gobbled up green eggs and ham, doughnuts, Fruit Loops and orange juice. (Thanks Mr. Pitzer for waking up at 4:30am to make us green scrambled eggs, and Mrs., Kamin and Officer Butterfield for visiting us!)

After our bellies were full of yummies, we listened to the Cat in the Hat.  We learned that Dr. Seuss wrote this book based on a list of high frequency words that young children would know.  We then shared all the rhyming words we heard and turned them into a poem of our own.  We tried to rhyme as many words as we could and some of us even made up words just like Dr. Seuss. Check out some of our writing:

Next it was time to gear up our creative juices and create our own Cat in the Hats.  The trick was we couldn’t use scissors or pencils.  We could only tear the paper.  It made from some very “Seussey” cats.

Then it was time to snuggle up with some of our favorite Seuss books either with a friend or on our own.  We ended the day watching Horton Hears a Who!  What a “Seussey” day for sure.  Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Thank you for all your wonderful, silly and wacky books!
