Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!!!

WOW!  What a busy week!!!  I spent the entire week last week getting my students ready for our Seussville Musical that we had on Friday! It was fabulous!!  I love Dr. Seuss Reading Day and I look forward to it every year!!!  My sweet babies had so much fun getting our classroom and our hallway ready for Whoville! My class helped me decide the theme of our bulletin board...Green eggs and Ham!!!! 
 

 We listed many, varied, and unusual things (A Talents Unlimited Activity) that are green and illustrated our favorite one!  
 
 I find it hard to fit everything on a bulletin board so I gladly take up the entire wall outside of my classroom!
 
To begin our green eggs and ham theme, we had to make green eggs and ham to taste!!!  I brought in an electric skillet and had the students help me make them!  My students thought that they would hate the eggs but guess what....they LOVED them!!!
 
And don't forget to graph it!!
 
 
There are so many amazing things to do for Dr. Seuss that you could spend months on his stories!!!!  I picked a few of my favorites for the week:
 
The Cat in the Hat
 
The Lorax
 
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
 
We ended the week with a Seussical Snack!!!  We had Truffula Tree Tops (colored marshmallows), Green Eggs (mint M&Ms), Barbaloots (Chocolate teddy grahams), Zoo Animals (animal crackers), Cat in the Hat Stripes (gummy savers), and One Fish, Two Fish (colored gold fish)!!! 
 
 
 
No Dr. Seuss Reading Day would be complete without special treats for my babies!!!  Target's Dollar Spot has some great Dr. Seuss goodies for $1!!!!
 
SOOOO to conclude this awesome week, the entire school came to school dressed as Whoville children and characters! They were greeted at the door by our principal dressed as The Grinch! It was awesome!!! To keep with my theme, I was Sam-I-Am!
 
and of course my teaching bestie!
 
So Reading Day has come and gone!!!!  What are some fun activities you do for Reading Day with Dr. Seuss???
