Dr. Seuss

I am so excited about Dr. Seuss Week next week! Our school will have trivia every day. We also have an assembly of Literature Comes to Life!! Students and staff will act out some stories. We have Who Hair Day and Book Character Day! I will read  several stories. Monday we are doing Oh, The Thinks You Can Think! We are going to make the little Who People and write speech bubbles about what we think about. This will be on my door. We will read The Lorax and make Lorax characters and write about it. We are doing The Cat and the Hat and The Cat and the Hat Comes Back. We will make Cat People and write about Our Favorite Dr. Seuss books. We are also going to read both Horton Books. We will make Horton and compare and contrast the two stories. We will write a letter to Horton to let him know what a loyal friend he was. We start our new character trait of Loyalty so it fits right it! We will also write a letter to Dr. Seuss. Here are my links. Enjoy.

I am working on uploading these!
