Dr. Seuss...Part 2

Shew, today was a nutty day. But I guess that's par for the course for Read Across America Week!

Here's a little peek at our day:

 We worked on our silly sentences from my Silly Sentences packet. We had fun making our sentences. After we did this whole group, students went back to their desk and worked on their emergent reader with these sentences.

While they were working and as we had time throughout the day, I had them read the sentence sheet to me. This is a great way to check for fluency and sight word knowledge. We use them each week with whichever sentence pack we are working on. 

They are loving their morning messages this week! Today we made up silly sentences.

 "My dog can wear a shirt."

 "My cow can wear socks."

 "My horse can pick up a chair."

"My cat can ride a horse!"

Tomorrow will be rhyming with "Hop on Pop"!

Dr. Seuss...Part One

Hello friends! It sure has been an exhausting, crazy fun day! We had a snow day yesterday, so today was our first official day of Read Across America Week. 

We of course wore pajamas today. When the kids get a PJ day, so do the teachers (love my principal!). So we have pajama days anytime we can fit them in! 

Here is a cupcake I was lucky enough to get to eat. They were brought for another K class, but I got an extra one. ;) Super adorable!

 My kinders has a less involved snack. The night before I made vanilla pudding with green food coloring. 2 of the big pudding boxes was enough for my class of 21 (and the kidlets towards the end had a little extra). 

We added vanilla wafers to the middle (the real thing was too expensive, lol) and sprinkles just because.

 The same wonderful parent who made the cupcakes also came with her husband dressed up ready to read to all of the kinders. 

She dressed as Olivia and he dressed as Farmer Brown and read the book to go along with it. 

I LOVE how they chose non Seuss characters! 

Of course we made hats! I'm lucky enough to have a die cut machine at school and one of our few large die cuts is this hat. It already had the lines perforated in so it made it easier for them to do their stripes. 

Well, my friends, that is our fun from today. I plan on blogging about the rest of our week each day if I make it! HA! 

What have you done so far this week?
