Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
We sure are enjoyed our Dr. Seuss books this week! The kids were quite the bunch of little readers!
We focused on a few of Dr. Seuss’ books, but enjoyed MANY more as well.
You can’t have Dr. Seuss week without The Cat in The Hat! The kids practiced their number identification and sequencing on Cat’s Hat, drew Cat in The Hat patterns in their journals, and painted Thing One and Thing Two portraits. They did a great job writing their names on their portraits too!
We read What Was I Scared Of? This is a wonderful book about being afraid of the unknown (in this case the animated pants with no wearer) and shows how a little understanding and acceptance of one’s differences can allow new friendships to form. The kids cut out paper pants and with a little guidance wrote what they were scared of.
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is a great rhyming story with some great moments for colour recognition as well. The kids played a One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish game where they rolled the dice, read the number and put the corresponding amount of fish in the bowl. They also made paper fish to go along with the story.
Go Dog Go, by PD Eastman, was another book we focused on. It is often associated with Dr. Seuss. This book is great for learning opposites, colours, and rhyming of course. We played a musical rhyming game to the tune of The Farmer in The Dell and made cardboard tube cars.
Additional favourites that were read multiple times this week:
Fox in Socks
Wacky Wednesday
Green Eggs and Ham
Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?
Hop On Pop
Yertle The Turtle
Our letters this week were O and Q. We learned that O is a vowel, so it has two sounds. We definitely learned some new letter Q words that we had not heard of before.
