Seuss!!!

While we are awaiting the onset of our Reading groups (in a few weeks) we are going to be doing a literary study of the books by Theodore Seuss Geisel – also known as, Dr. Seuss.  We will do all sorts of activities around some of his books: writing, predictions, extensions, and artwork.  Some activities will be individual and others will be group based.

This week we have begun with the iconic classic, The Cat in the Hat.

We had an extended directed drawing lesson on facial features.  Students then created their own faces through their drawing.  Hats, in the style of The Cat in the Hat, were made and added to their portraits.  These are on our main bulletin in the hallway.

All About Me

We have spent time this week looking at ourselves and sharing things with our classmates.  We did a booklet called, A Book About Me.  In here we wrote about our likes / dislikes, our families, things we have recently learned, and things we want to learn next.  We also did initial drawings of our faces.  These booklets are posted on the bulletin board at the back of our classroom.
