Last week we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday. We had many parents come in and read and/or celebrate with us.
On Monday, Mason's mom joined us and read Green Eggs and Ham and a few other books by Dr. Seuss. After the story, we went back to our seats and tried some "home-made" green eggs and ham made by our teachers! Brianna's mom also joined us and was a huge help to us with passing out the food and helping the students to get seconds. :)
On Tuesday, Dr. Seuss' actual birthday, we were joined by Corbin's mom and Brianna's mom to help us celebrate. We painted our faces to look like the Cat and we also made 'Cat in the Hat' hats that we were allowed to wear all day! Mrs. Crews read Mr. Mooney will you please go now? and afterwards we painted different ways we could go. The students used their imagination as well as ideas they gained from the story to illustrate their paintings.
On Wednesday, Bryce's mom read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and Fox in Socks. After the story we ate blue goo and had pink ink! Brianna's mom came in and joined us again and was a huge help in passing out our blue goo and by giving us seconds. Anna's grandmother, Mrs. Smith also came in and read Horton Hears a Who which we enjoyed very much!
On Thursday, Caleb's mom read The Foot Book and afterwards helped us paint each child's foot for our very own class foot book. The students thought it was hysterical that we painted their feet and many of them couldn't stop laughing because it tickled so much!
Friday, our very last day of celebrating Dr. Seuss, we were joined by many parents. Caleb's mom and dad came and helped us paint our hands for our One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish story that was read to us by Natalie's mom. Brianna's mom brought us delicious rainbow colored cupcakes to have at lunch and Mrs. Breidenstein, a second grade teacher, and Anna's aunt, read us her favorite book Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?
Many, many thanks to all the parents who helped make the week so fun. Without your help, it would not have been nearly as much fun for the kids!
