The Dr. Seuss Touch

We didn't get to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday on Monday last week. We were home celebrating a rare snow event instead. It doesn't often snow this far south, but it's always a treat for the boys and girls in my classroom when it does. The children participated in many learning activities last week, from alphabetizing the characters from The Cat in the Hat to making oobleck and observing the properties of liquids and solids. The most rewarding incident happened on Friday afternoon when several of the students asked me to leave out all the Dr. Seuss books in a basket so they could continue to read them. That's the magic of Dr. Seuss, they are timeless classics, beloved by young and old. Thank you Dr. Seuss for creating books with unique characters written for young and old.
