Psst, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' birthday, as any good librarian knows, so here are Dr. Seuss birthday party ideas to celebrate reading & keep you on your toes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SUESS!!! Dr. Seuss's birthday is this Friday, March 2. To celebrate, I am doing a Dr. Seuss theme for Super Tot. We will be focusing on 8 books this week, and 8 more next week. I have chosen one activity to go with each book. We will read all 8 books every day. I expect that Super Tot will want to do all the trays each day, too. Here are our activities & books for this week: The Cat in the Hat Counting Hats with Thing 1 and Thing 2... Place the correct number of hats on each mat based on the number written in the circle. I made "Thing 1" up through "Thing 5" to assist Super Tot with number recognition. He has no trouble counting, but still needs work on recognizing the printed numerals. I do not own copyrights to these images, so I apologize that I am not able to provide a printable. ~counting and number recognition~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Cat in the Hat Comes Back Measuring & Creating Dr. Seuss Hats Choose a blue card and measure it with the ruler. Next, using the large white lego as a base and building up, alternate colors to create a hat that is the same length as the card. ~early math & measuring, fine motor~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Green Eggs and Ham Matching Yolk Shapes Match each wooden shape in the bowl to the correct egg yolk on the mat. ~shape recognition & matching, fine motor~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There's a Wocket in my Pocket Wocket in my Pocket Alphabet Sort Take a Wocket card out of the bowl and place it in the correct pocket based on whether it is an UPPERCASE letter or a lowercase letter. The Wocket printable is available here, and I just printed pockets onto cardstock and pasted them on the red paper as actual pockets. ~letter recognition, fine motor~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Tooth Book Counting Smiling Sam the Crocodile's Teeth Count the number of teeth on each mat and place the correct rock into the crocodile's mouth. I made these mats when we did our Letter Aa week (see here). They were alligators then, but worked out perfectly to be Smiling Sam the Crocodile in The Tooth Book! ~counting & number recognition~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Can Read with My Eyes Shut Mystery Bag Fabric Matching Take one fabric square out of the crate and feel it. Set it down and place your hand in the bag. Without looking, feel the fabric squares in the bag and find the identical square based on touch. I thought it would be fun to do a twist on the "Eyes Shut" theme and do an activity where Super Tot is not able to use his eyes to complete the task. He enjoys the Mystery Bag activities we have done before, so I expect this one to be a hit. ~sensory integration~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daisy-Head Mayzie Daisy Color by Number Pages Color each daisy picture using the correct color for each number shown. I printed off 6 different daisy coloring pages and wrote the numbers and legend on each one. ~fine motor, pre-writing, number & color recognition~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Fish Counting Mats Take one mat and follow the directions at the top, either placing the correct number or color of fish on each mat. Once complete, turn the mat over and complete the other side. We have used this activity many times, and it is always a hit. This is actually from one of our Busy Bags (see here). The mats each have one side with a number and the other side with a color. ~number & color recognition, counting~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For lots of inspiration, be sure to check these sites: 1+1+1=1 Sun Scholars No Time for Flashcards Homeschool Creations Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas ABC & 123 Living Life Intentionally Read, Explore, Learn Living Montessori Now Happy Birthday Author Homeschooling on the Cheap

Today we celebrate Dr. Seuss Birthday, or Read Across America Day! Here are two of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss made into printables! They were made for size 13X19, but if you crop them they work well for a 4X6, or 5X7 as well! In Preschool today we are going to use baby Goldfish and put the appropriate number in each fish bowl! I made these last night for my daughters 1st grade class. They were asked to bring a snack to share with the class for their Dr. Seuss reading hour. The Lorax guy (Nutter Butters, candy eyes, and yellow chocolate) and the bears(teddy grahams) who LOVED Marshmallows just like my daughter! I would say it was a little over the top, but it was fun for me to do! Use this printable and make your own!

Happy March! Was hoping to kick off the month with a little sunshine but was greeted with snow this morning. Again! Ugh! At least I know whatever snow falls will melt quickly....I hope! I have to keep reminding myself that spring is just a few weeks away. I just finished my March Open-Ended Questions. If you want to see my previous entry about the value of these journals and how much I love them, you can read about them here and see responses from the kiddos. (More FREEBIES there, too!) After a few people inquired if I'd be adding each month to my store (YES!) I now have a year-long open-ended math questions bundle that will save teachers $10. Who doesn't love to save ten bucks? It's like getting THREE months for free. Free is good, isn't it? Here are TWO free pages/samples from my March Packet. One will be perfect for Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Day tomorrow. Hope you can use them. In clip art news, John just finished a James Madison and the War of 1812 set. I so wish I could do this! I love the picture of Francis Scott Key as he overlooks "the bombs bursting in air." A lot of research goes into his historical sets and I'm thrilled they are selling well now. Oh, I also have this SIMPLE Dr. Seuss song that you may want to use tomorrow to the tune of BINGO. Honestly, I just put it together a few years ago to heave something but my kids love singing it. Good luck to all of you who are starting PARCC testing tomorrow. Lots of families are opting out in NJ and I cannot say I blame them. Have a great day!
