Dr. YOU KNOW WHO had a big birthday this week and it is one of my most FAVORITE teaching days of the year. I have such a passion for teaching reading and so this day of reading celebration is right up my alley!
We use to – back in the day make these super elaborate Cat in the Hat circular very tall striped hats with paper plates as the base.{ try saying that 10 times fast! } Come on you all know what I’m talking about…yeah! Well lets be honest…now that I have 28 kids that just AIN’T { yes I just said ain’t } happening….ain’t nobody got time for that now. Yep, I just did it again. :o)
Anywho now we make a much simpler version of a Dr. Seuss day hat and I’m a big fan. It’s just a sentence strip with blue pieces hanging down from it in all directions and a big splot of THING 1 or THING 2 on the front…done! check, next! We still make green eggs and ham and do a predicting and what really happened activity on it. First we predict whether we will like it or not then we decide if we did…like this
We also made these Thing 1 and 2 guys with their handprints for hair.
So much fun…. how do you celebrate?
I LOVE the Thing 1 and Thing 2 crafts! So stinkin' cute! The hats are a riot too! You are so creative! :o)
