This past month, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America, our youngest bobcats have been doing all things Seuss. We started our first lesson with The Cat in the Hat and acting out words for lists of word families we created. Our next Seuss lesson focused around the book Hop on Pop. For this book, students practiced reading sight words from the book, and then let out some of their active energy with a Hop on Pop game. The third week we used the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. With this book, students created their own illustration for the title and played a matching/memory game with upper and lowercase letters. This past week, Kinders concluded their study of Seuss by learning about the Theodore Seuss Geisel Award, an award that honors Dr. Seuss and identifies great books for beginning readers. After reading this year's winning book, Don't Throw to Mo, and one of the honor books, A Pig, A Box, and A Fox, students went to various stations where they got to look through and read other Theodore Seuss Geisel Award books, read Dr. Seuss books, and play a word family game with a partner. Take a look at some of our activities through the pictures below.
