Seuss and Sentence Structuring

Maisha Booker used this activity at a literacy center this week.  I love that the kids are able to practice both the sounding out of words AND proper spacing between words!  They came up with some super sentences...

She loves her Ms. Booker!

Someone knew exactly how to get her picture taken by Mrs. Hicks!  :)

This is our Cat in the Hat page that will go into our big scrapbooks. 

It is difficult to see the cat's face but it is there!  The children were asked to write what they would tell their mother when she came home and asked, "How was your day?' if the Cat had come to their house on a rainy day!

The first response most of the children had was to wonder WHY the mother left the children alone!  They also didn't think too much of the children's judgement allowing a stranger in the house!   Ahh...the times....

3. Award 5 recently discovered great bloggers.

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

Here goes:
1. I love spending time with my family even it is doing nothing and I mean NOTHING!  They are some of the funniest people around and I soak up every minute.

2.  I am addicted to my new Kindle and as a result have been seriously sleep deprived since Christmas.

3. I secretly know that I was born to be onstage singing in Broadway musicals. Fortunately the public has been saved  from this spectacle.

4.  I love constantly re-decorating my house.  Little things like making new pillows, curtains, arrangements, etc.  I don't think my house will ever be "finished".  Hobby Lobby loves this about me but my husband has a different take...

5.  Some days I literally want to run screaming out of the building with the frustration du jour but then I find myself excited to walk back in the next morning ready to see what we can make of our day.  :)  God's sense of humor amazes me.

6. I like to think of myself as somewhat hip and kinda cool and REALLY funny.  My teenage daughters are real quick to set this fantasy straight.  Luckily I work with five year olds...know your audience.

7. I thank the Lord for this incredible life I have been given and the amazing people that I am able to get to know.  He knows what He is doing!!
