Celebrating Dr. Seuss’ Birthday

This week our class has been continuing our Dr. Seuss book study. We even celebrated what would have been his birthday this past Thursday!  The Super Kids enjoyed Seuss themed literacy centres, continued to work on their rhyming writing pieces for our class book, tried green eggs and ham, finished our Seuss art, and even had time to watch a version of “The Lorax”.  It was a very busy day full of laughs.

We started our fish art on Monday after reading “One Fish, Two Fish, Read Fish, Blue Fish”.  Have you ever noticed how Seuss art is whimsical?  We sure did.  The class started the process by looking at a variety of fish that Seuss drew and then sketched our own.

  

Once their sketches were complete, each student outlined their art with sharpie marker.

  

The next day the class painted them with very small paint brushes that could highlight the details they drew.  They picked colours that Dr. Seuss used in his books.

  

 

We created our backgrounds and let them dry.  The next day we cut and pasted our fish onto our backgrounds.  The results are amazing!  We have them displayed in our classroom on our bulletin board.

 

Our Seussville City is now up in the hallway too!  Last week we shared on our blog the creative process that our class went through with Mrs. Haines’ class.  Check it out next time you’re in the school.

The Seuss themed centres were a big hit.  Each table got to cycle through each centre.  Activities included exploring the Seussville website, creating rhyming phrases, graphing goldfish, working on a Seuss puzzle, and reading Seuss books.

 

Do you like green eggs and ham?  We had to try.

We even got to watch a short video of the Dr. Seuss classic “The Lorax”.

It was a great week!  Enjoy your Sunday.  I’ll see all of my Super Kids tomorrow.  Take care.
