Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Last week, we started a celebration in honor of Dr. Seuss. We had theme days such as Wacky Wednesday (siily socks), Theodore Thursday (Biography of Dr. Seuss), and Funny Friday (green eggs & ham and oobleck). Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with roving stations packed with activities, reading more of his books, and ended our celebration with a birthday cake shaped as a hat. This was a fun unit for all of us and we all enjoyed learning about Dr. Seuss and reading all of his books. HAPPY 105th BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS!!!

Edible Art

Our class painted with edible art today. This was a simple mixture of light corn syrup and food coloring. Everyone had a blast and when all paintings were done, we got to lick our fingers and EAT?!?!? our paint.

Secret Valentines

We received secret Valentine notes from the 1st graders. It was fun getting new notes and trying to figure out who our secret Valentines were :)
We also gave secret notes & treats to the Kindergarten students of Mrs. Ngewakl's class everyday and on Friday (2/13), we walked to their class and surprised them with treats and a poem.

"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue....We think you're sweet, so here is a treat!"
