Dr. Seuss

This was a fun week. The kids loved this week of rhymes and silly things. This week we explored five wonderful books created by Dr. Seuss. We started the week of by reading 1 fish, 2 fish , red fish, blue fish.

On this day we did a lot of fun activities. We created a fishbowl treat which included blue jello and Swedish fish.
Also we went fishing for our sight words. I used a fishing game that I had bought at lakeshore and put tape on the bottom of each fish with the sight words written on it.




We also used two paper plates to create stamp pads on red one blue and created handprint fish art for this book.



We also read the green eggs and ham story. This day we had an green egg alphabet match game. The match the green yolks to the egg white by capital letters to lowercase letters.

We also made our very own green eggs a and ham. The children helped me by tearing the ham int to small pieces and cracking the eggs and stirring in the green food coloring. The kids thought they were delicious .






We also read the story of the lorax. On this day we watched the movie. We created the lorax treat. The lorax treat is made up of chocolate teddy grams for the barbaloots, gold fish for the humming fish, mini Cadbury eggs for the swamee swans, pretzel stick for the truffla tree trunks. And marshmallows . You first mix all the ingredients with out marshmallows. The melt marshmallows then add to our mixture to make a gooey treat. My class loved it.




We also created a lorax puppet. We used paper bag painted orange and yellow paper to cut out his mustache using our hand prints. And we cut out eye brows out of yellow paper. We used googled eyes to. The kid enjoyed making these puppet and kept shouting out I am the lorax I speak for the trees.

E is for emergency

This week was all about the letter and and emergency situations. We started the week off with talking about fire emergency and what to do when we clutch on fire. We talked a lot about stop drop and rolling and even what fires can look like.

One activity we did I placed out a plate or paints and paper and had the children finger paint what the thought fire looked like.







Then I cut out a few flames, made out of red and orange construction paper.



Then taped them on to each child, to practice what to do if their clothes caught on fire.
They had a lot of fun discussing the stop drop and roll technique.



We also talked about who is a stranger and what we should do if a stranger comes up to us.
We created stranger masks using paper plates, maker,crayons and out box of collage items . Then wore the mask to practice the scenarios of what a stranger would say and ask.
