Woohoo!! We had a great day in First grade celebrating the birth of one of our favorite authors! Dr. Seuss!!!!! We got to wear our pajamas to school and cozy up with some of his books :) We got a few surprises did a few fun activities as well!
We read a Biography about the life of Dr. Seuss that had some pretty interesting facts in it. Did you know his first name was Theodore?? He was born in 1904, he was an illustrater for others before he became an author himself and his first book was The Cat in the Hat!!
We read The Lorax (can't wait to see the movie). This story is about a funny little character The Lorax, who lives in a town of Truffula trees. The trees are cut down to make Thneeds (weird scarves) from their furry tops. The Lorax is so sad that the town turns dirty from the smoke and the trees are all gone. There is only one Truffula tree seed left...We then did a writing activity.."What would you do if you were the Lorax to help the Earth?"
Our Dr. Seuss goodies from Mrs. Grow and Mrs. Davis : ) : ) : ) I bought those buttons 2 years ago knowing there would be some special day to use them!!!
One of my most favorite Dr. Seuss books :)
I really like how this little love asked the reader a question. What would YOU do?? We've been talking about how we should stop and answer the questions to ourselves when the author writes an asking sentence. KUDOS!!
We la la LOVE Dr. Seuss!!
