Of course, we start by reading as many Dr. Seuss books as possible the first few days. They love it right off the bat! |
Who doesn't love Green Eggs and Ham?! |
Wow! I read this one today and I always forget how tongue-tied I get! It's hard to be cool on this job. |
his Make-Believe characters... |
and of course, his love of rhyming words! |
I give each table a book we have already read and they work as a team (ok, they really TRY to work as a team) to find examples to fit into each of the three categories. |
They take turns giving me examples for us to chart. |
We are incorporating Dr. Seuss into our literacy centers. Hop on Pop is at Listening Center. |
In their Listening Journal, they will list a pair of rhyming words from the story and illustrate. |
They may also get a white board and make their own rhyming sentences. She read "I like box" and "I like socks" to me. |
A rhyming match-up game. |
I buy these literacy games at Marshall's, Ross and TJ Maxx. I have never paid over $5.00 for one and I still see them there often. |
These are the hats we will make to wear on Friday. Ms. Potts is a step ahead of the game! |
She used the fold-over flap book for their writing. The children wrote a fact about Harriet Tubman on each flap and illustrated it. |
Lana Holzer's class completed a page on Garrett Morgan-the inventor of the stoplight. |
I also wanted to show Michele Potts' Flag page for their American Symbols book. |
The fact writing is fantastic! |
