Two Weeks of Seuss!!!



I love kindergarten and everything about it.  I try to make everyday fun and engaging but I must admit Dr. Seuss is one of my faves!

So two years ago I decided to go big and make the most of our Dr. Seuss theme!  Since then I look forward to it every year.  

We have two full weeks of theme days.  

This is the letter I send home to parents.  

The themes for each day go along with a specific Dr. Seuss story.

I am going to share ideas for the first week and I will continue to add pictures to my Instagram and Facebook account as the fun goes on.  

I have included links to the different resources that I have used during my Dr. Seuss themes.    I am so thankful for all the amazing teachers out there who have shared so many great resources. 

For Monday, we all get to wear hats in honor of Dr. Seuss.  
We read The Cat in the Hat do rhyming activities and decided how would we get the Cat in the Hat to leave our house.

On Tuesday, we all wear red and make super cute headbands for Thing 1 and Thing 2.


Here is a link to the TPT product I use for each student.  
There are Things 1-36 so everyone gets to have their own number.  
Thanks Brittany Archibald.

Here is the link for the Teacher Headbands.
Thanks Lily.

We also make Thing 1 and Thing 2's out of shapes.  


Thanks Deidre from JDaniels4'smom.

Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday!  
I love this day and all of the Wackiness involved in Wacky Wednesday!
We dress crazy, wacky, and mismatched!

We read Wacky Wednesday and find all of the wackiness on every page!  

If you haven't taken the time to read this book it is GREAT!!!  I project it on the big screen and the kiddos love finding everything wacky.  

We then write about our very own Wacky Wednesday!



Wacky and mismatched!

On Thursday, we will celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday!  
We all wear party hats and read happy Birthday to you!



Friday is always fun Friday in my classroom!

So on Friday we wear green, make green eggs and ham and make Oobleck!!!



Another great resource is the app:

Dr. Seuss Camera - the Cat in the Hat Edition


I take pictures of my students using this filter, print them out, and then my kiddos write about their picture!  



I hope you liked what I shared!  Can't wait to share more about next week!
