Dr. Seuss week

Last week, June 1-6, we kicked off summer with Dr. Seuss week. TV watching had gotten a little out of control and I wanted to get refocused and start the summer right. So, no TV except The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That in the afternoon (and a couple mornings before we got up). We also read a different Dr. Seuss book every day and had a snack and activity that went along with the book of the day. It was so fun. They looked forward to it every day and by the end of the week didn't seem to mind not watching much TV. So, here's what we did:

Monday

Oh The Thinks You Can Think

Schlopp with a cherry on top (applesauce colored with food coloring with an m&m on top)

"I can think about me" book (a little construction paper book with drawings of their favorite things)

Tuesday

The Cat in the Hat

Cat's hat kabobs (strawberries and bananas sliced and stuck on toothpicks)

Wednesday

Dr. Seuss' ABC book

B is for bubbles

D is for doughnuts

S is for sipping soda pop

Thursday

Green Eggs and Ham

Green pancakes

Rhyming words matching eggs

Friday

One Fish Two Fish

Colored goldfish with a color matching worksheet
