It's Read Across America week and I am so excited to partner with our Media Center Instructor to host a week filled of Seuss-tastical Fun!
Spirit Week and Morning Meeting: Each day is titled with a book and quote from Dr. Seuss. The quotes can be used as great conversational starters for your morning meetings. Remember Thursday dress as a team..It's Twin Day!
Daily Book Readings: YouTube Videos for RAA Week! The link has a video for each day we are celebrating. Thursday does not have a book, so choose a Dr. Seuss book to share with your class. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNrbTVZVMNZ2OLP7Ef7eok6n4lP145ZX5
Here is also a file with QR Codes for read alongs of a few Dr. Seuss books...which are YouTube vides.
Our Media Center instructor, Mrs. Crockett, have offered to come to classes to read their favorite Dr. Seuss book.
Weekly Trivia: Everyday we will have a weekly Trivia Question on the morning announcements. Students can write their answer on a piece of paper with their name and teacher. Place all student answers in the Seuss Mail box located outside of the Media Center (all take a picture of the box tomorrow) by 1:00 pm each day. I will draw a name with the correct answer daily for a special treat. For our younger students, teachers may help them answer and write the answer.
Monday: What was Dr. Seuss birth name?
Tuesday: Where was Dr. Seuss born?
Wednesday: What was the name of Dr. Seuss first book?
Thursday: What was the name of his first popular book?
Friday: How many children's books did Dr. Seuss published?
Teacher Fun: "I've Been Seussed!" If you are Seussed, place the provided hat on your door from the bag, refill the bag with treats, and Suess someone else. Be sure to place a new Cat in the Hat paper hat (found in the mailroom) in the bag for the next recipient. The "I've Been Seussed" fun will begin on Monday February 29th and go through Friday, March 4th. If you get Seussed and do not wish to participate in the fun, pass the "I've Been Seussed" to someone. Do not keep and and not Seuss someone. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Traveling Snack Bar: To show appreciation to our teachers and to make Monday a Funday! We will travel to each classroom with a snack bar for teachers. Most of the snacks will be from a Dr. Seuss book title...here is a few...
DEAR Wednesday: I have attached a few resources you can do in your classroom throughout the week. On Wednesday March 2nd for Dr. Seuss Birthday, we are going to spend the last 30 minutes of school reading. At 1:50 I will announce we are participating in DEAR in honor of Dr. Seuss' Birthday. This will allow students to pack their belongings and get out a book to read in silence until they depart.
More fun: I have purchased the Dr. Seuss Cam App to capture fun pictures of students and staff throughout the week. I will share via Twitter throughout the week!
