Dr Seuss Week

March is Dr. Seuss month. His birthday is on March 2nd and so whole month of March is all about him. However we stuck to having a week on him :D We read a lot of his books- luckily I had 6 of them on tape so we listened to them. My kiddos love listening to books on tape and these have music and sound effects to go with the words. 

Rhyming Words:
Since Dr. Seuss books are all about rhyming we listened for rhyming words. After we finished reading the book, we tried to recall rhyming pairs and write them on chart. We did this throughout the week, every time after we read the book.

Rhyming Sentences:
Let students think of rhyming pairs and help them make sentences. As this is new to them, it will require some probing to get them thinking. 

 
Goldfish Graphing:
A fun graphing activity. Provide students with a handful of Rainbow Goldfish and the graphing sheet. Students will sort the fishes according to the color and color in corresponding boxes. 

The graphing sheet is from Oopsey Daisy and can be found HERE

One fish two fish game:
A counting game, this is a fun game to play that goes with Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I found the game on Mama Miss website and can be found HERE. This game can be used for color recoginition, counting, one to one correspondence or addition. We used it for adding by rolling 2 dies and putting equivalent fishes in our bowl and finding the total. 

Foot Measurement:
This idea is from Oopsey Daisy's Mommy school packet S is for Seuss. It goes with the Foot Book. We traced students foot on a paper and gave them unifix cubes to measure their foot. They wrote how many unifix cubes long their foot was and compared whose was the longest in the group. 

Puzzles:
I created clothes pin game to go with our theme. It can be downloaded from HERE.  
In Pre-K students should be able to number order upto 10. So I created puzzles that require the kiddos to put them in number order to put the puzzle together. 
Horton Puzzle
Lorax Puzzle
Thing 1 and 2 Puzzle
I also found green egg and ham clipart by searching on google. I wrote numbers on the eggs and put dots on the ham. Kiddos had to match the eggs and ham. 

Word Wall Words:
WE created simple words that we chose from Dr. Seuss's book. Click HERE to download them. 

Of course we had a Wacky Wednesday and Crazy Sock Friday. Made the whole week fun :))


Until next time,

Cheers =)
