Dr. Seuss Week- Part 1


What a wonderful week! 
Every day was about a different Dr. Seuss book (or 2!).

Monday: The Foot Book and Fox in Socks


We wore our favorite shoes and socks to school today! After talking about measuring and making an estimate, we used shoes to see how long we are (with the help of a counting classmate). We finished up by talking about how we usually use rulers to measure, and how a whole 12 inch ruler is called a foot. Then, we picked out some paint colors and got started painting some giant feet.





Tuesday: 1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish 

Fishing fun was in order for Tuesday! We had our own alphabet pond for catching letters and sounds. We also worked on recognizing our numbers to 20 with some goldfish crackers. 






Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday and Bartholomew and the Oobleck

EVERYTHING was mixed up on Wacky Wednesday! Our clothes and hair looked all wacky and wild. We came in to a room with mixed up table jobs and name cards that didn't match anyone there. The letters on the board looked all wrong, and we worked together to fix those. Then, after mixing up some ooey gooey oobleck, we played in the goo at one center, and made those colorful feet  from Monday extra wacky at another center.








 














so many wacky feet!

Happy 100th Day!

Today was the 100th Day of School!


Our Hundred Day Heroes started counting as soon as they got out of the car this morning, and kept going all day long! After a shared reading of our superhero poem, we hunted for letters and words we know. Then we got our blood pumping with 100 exercises! Using our recipe cards that we made earlier in the week, we carefully counted out 10 pieces of 10 different snacks to make a 100 piece snack mix. Big thanks to all our families for sending in all our ingredients!





















Before eating snack mix, we had one more 100 Day challenge: building something with 100 cups as a TEAM! This was a challenge- after all, everyone has their own ideas, and how can make that work for 1 building?? Well, we slow down, think about our ideas, listen to each other, and what do you know? Big buildings are built!







Hooray for our 100th Day Heroes- we are 100 Days SMARTER!
