Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss is such an inspiration. He wrote such wonderful books, from the simple and funny to get children interested in reading to the more complex but yet still funny books that keep them reading.  His birthday is March 2nd and this year due to snow days and delays we will be celebrating him tomorrow.  We will work on patterns by making Cat in the Hat hats that are red and white striped, we will work on counting by putting fish in a bowl after reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, we will write recipes after reading Green Eggs and Ham, we will also practice rhyming with a song and a game.  The song is one I learned from another educator but I took it and turned it into an interactive smart notebook file.  Students sing the song with you and then choose the word that rhymes.  Here is the link to the Dr. Seuss smart board song.The song is sung to Do your Ears Hang Low.  If the link doesn't work, or you are not a smart board type of person, below are the lyrics.....

Oh, Dr Seuss is a really silly guy
He likes to say things that rhyme all the time
If I said ______
Then he'd probably say _________
Oh, Dr Seuss

Have fun celebrating Dr. Seuss!
