And the Winner is...

US - Room 13!  We won the school's door decorating contest.  And yes, I know the pic isn't a door (it's actually a window across the hall - but I needed more room)!  Yes, I'm in a 12 Step program - "Hello, I'm Kristan & I'm a wall hog!" 
Anyway, gotta love our enrichment teachers {planned all the Seuss-ational activities this week, including a raspberry/poppy seed cake with whipped icing delivered to the Teacher's Lounge - Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss...YUMMO!}.


Cute, right?!?!



{Special thanks to Deanna Jump - for her FANTASTIC Dr. Seuss Glyph packet - use the link & get yours in her TpT store!!}

We had a great Seuss-filled Friday with our 5th grade buddies.  Check out some reading/oobleck/zoo memories we made today:

Seuss Day comes but once a year,

And when it comes it brings GREAT cheer!

Toodles,

Are You Celebrating Seuss?

So excited for Dr. Seuss' birthday & Read Across America on Friday, but one day isn't enough to celebrate this great children's author!  So I'm making it a Seuss-filled week, why not?

We are all geared up in 1st - here's my plan:
Monday - reading Cat in the Hat & sequencing the events, start Cat in the Hat glyph
Tuesday - reading Horton Hatches the Egg (my FAVORITE Dr. Seuss book, because I just love its message!) & creating mixed up animals (like an elephant bird)
Wednesday - reading Wacky Wednesday, how could you not?
Thursday - reading Fox in Socks my tongue is worried already! & Green Eggs & Ham...in preparation for:
Friday - we have A LOT on the docket...

1. Dress up as your favorite Seuss character (school-wide)
2. Cafeteria serving Green Eggs & Ham - we're creating a green egg graph of if we liked/didn't like it
3. Working with our 5th grade buddies to: 1. create & describe play-doh animals after reading If I Ran the Zoo & 2. creating oobleck after reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck
4. Enjoying a Thing, red velvet cupcake (gotta love Pinterest)
5. DEAR time, because I could use a little sanity at this point in the day!

I also purchased Michelle Oakes' Dr. Seuss centers - finishing those up for stations next week

10 more, 10 less; 1 more, 1 less center

Spelling center

Rhyming center

Long vs. Short vowels center

 & Deanna Jump's Cat in the Hat Glyph.  Everything I have purchased from these 2 lovely teachers has my highest recommendation, so I can't wait to share photos of our Seuss-stravaganza!!!
