here is another link....craft ideas http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/mar...l/blmar2nd.htm |
We eat green eggs and ham for breakfast ;)
I have a cat in the hat costume (hat, gloves, bow-tie and tail) that I'll wear on Friday, probably only until the kids ask for a turn which will probably be all of 10 minutes lol. Other than that jus reading all if their favorite Dr. Seuss books. On Saturday I'm taking my DD to Lakeshpre Learning for free crafts in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. That's just for our own special girls day bonding time. |
Daily theme
Monday- Crazy Sock Day
Tuesday-??for what the kids bring/wear Wednesday-Wacky Wednesday Thursday-Hat Day Friday-??for what the kids bring/wear Dr. Seuss’s Birthday! Green Eggs and Ham! I'll be doing special art projects and stuff but we did this type of thing last year (daily things) and the kids loved it. I think I had a pajama day last year but we did one recently. Any other ideas? |
Well, my Funshine Buttercups kit got here...
Nothing Seussical..;) Great info on Managing Behaviors, Routines, Scaffolding, Centers and Inclusion, though. Worth checking out for newer folks. Would have been nice in my first few years. |

The only thing I have planned so far is "Inside, Outside, Upside Down" day on the 1st. I'm planning an obstacle course for sure, some Seuss books, and the traditional green eggs and ham brekky.
I know Friday is the actual day and will prolly do some more activities on Friday. |
We're of course reading tons of dr seuss books,
doing goldfish sorting (buying the different colored goldfish and sorting them by color for one fish two fish, red fish blue fish) Making green eggs and ham for breakfast painting with our feet for the foot book coloring cat in the hat hats playing hide and seek with green plastic easter eggs balancing things like the cat in the hat and watching the cat in the hat movie on friday I cant wait, I LOVE dr Seuss! |
Oh, I just remembered our foot paintings that we did last year to go along with The Foot Book! That was a lot of fun - we traced each child's feet and then they painted them and we made a bulletin board that said "Oh How Many Feet You Meet!" We have also painted using our feet, but not to go along with Dr. Seuss, that was fun too! You can see pictures of that here: http://www.hilaryshomedaycare.com/2/...-painting.html
And we usually make "Blue Goo" (like in "Fox In Socks") either with cornstarch and water (and blue food coloring) or else with white glue and liquid starch (and blue food coloring). And we have a silly socks day. I love Dr. Seuss week! :) |

Thanks, we painted with our feet today and I just love this week too!happyface |
Yesterday we painted with red and white paint. When it dried, we made hats out of them. Not necessarily striped like the cat's, but they did it on their own. :ouch:
I put blue water beads in a fish bowl (see water bead thread) Today we went to the library, and then came home and read the nose book. They drew self portraits while looking in a mirror, then added funny noses I printed out. We do feet painting and an obstacle course as well. Apple prints for ten apples on top Definetly make oobleck! red and white jello parfaits for snack I don't now what else yet, I'm kind of wingin' it as we go along! http://www.obseussed.com/p/books.html |
