Simpson's Superstars: Dr. Seuss

Showing posts with label Dr. Seuss. Show all posts

I know I'm a wee bit tardy for this party but I wanted to share some of my pictures from last week so I'm linking up with Kacey of Doodle Bugs Teaching for her Five for Friday Linky party ~ Monday edition.

Last week I came to an epiphany. I need to bring the F-U-N back into teaching. The past few weeks have been CRAZY busy with assessments, meetings, deadlines, report cards and blah, blah, blah. I decided it was time to teach but with a little more PAZAZZ.

Yes people. . . those are real goats. My firsties were learning about the /oa/ sound so one of the first grade teachers brought in her goats. My kids had soooooo many great questions, it was fun to see their minds at work.

Out with the old and in with the new. Willie the Word Worm finally got his new outfit for the month of March.

Thursday was Thing Thursday. I know I look like a hot mess of nonsense but my kids got a kick out of seeing me all Thinged up. After writing time, they all got super excited when I told them that they were going to make their own outfit.

Come on. . . seriously, how cute are this little Things.

So there you have a little peek into my week. I hope that you get a chance to have some fun with your kids this week. Well I'm off to procrastinate. SHINE on everyone!!

Assessments - done, report cards - done, meeting with principal - done, reorganized classroom cabinet - done, first grade field trip - done, 2 classroom birthdays - done, 120th day celebration - done, Dr. Seuss' birthday - done, faculty meeting - done, grade level articulation meeting - done, take pictures for school 5K run - done.

GEESH, no wonder I am exhausted. This month has been CRAZY and it's only the 11th of the month. I just wanted to pop in with a quick reminder that TUESDAY is the 12th of the month. It's time for my monthly linky party ~ 12 on the 12th.

Remember to grab your cameras, tablets or phones on TUESDAY and snap 12 random pictures from your day and then swing back by to link up. I'll have the linky posted by Tuesday evening but remember you don't have to write your post on the 12th. Feel free to come by anytime during the month to link up. I can't wait to see what's going on with everyone.

Speaking of random, here is a picture from the beginning of the month.

Yes, we celebrated "Dr. You Know Who's" birthday AND the 120th day of school on the SAME DAY. We are going to continue our book study on Dr. Blah Blah for the rest of the month. Be sure to swing by to see some more fun ideas.

Well I'm off to bed (wow it's actually a reasonable hour).

SHINE on everyone

I love talking to my students about Earth Day. This month I added a recycling can to our classroom and I have been encouraging my students to look for items in their lunch boxes that we can recycle. Every day it makes me smile when I come to pick them up from the cafeteria and they are holding up empty jello cups, lunchable trays and water bottles. They really get a kick out of adding these items to our recycling can. Below is a picture of one of the projects we completed to celebrate Earth Day (as always, thank you PINTEREST).

Come on...how cute is this??

Hmmmm, I guess I did manage to sneek in just one more Dr. Seuss activity after all.

As much as I hate to do this...it's time to say so long to Dr. Seuss. Our kindergarten classes spent the entire month of March celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. I decided long ago that it is just too hard to try to cram everything into just one week, let alone one day so Dr. Seuss was loose all month. I thought I had cute ideas before but that was my pre-pinterest life. Below are some of my favorite pictures.
