We also had a very special visitor this week! Our very own Dr. Brown came to Kindergarten to celebrate Dr. Suess Day! He shared, Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You with us. Check out how talented he is:
Each day this week we explored Dr. Suess's books throughout our lessons. Here are some of the fun books we studied and the activities we did with them:
During our study of the Cat in the Hat, we created a book where we reviewed our color words by illustrating the different colors of the Cat in the Hat's hats. He even had a silly hat filled with many colors! Do you know which hat was his favorite? The red one! I wonder why?
Then, we studied the Lorax where we talked about the importance of taking care of our Earth. We then took time to go outside and clean up any trash that we saw on our playground. We want to help keep our Earth clean so that we can enjoy it for many years to come!
Another great book that we enjoyed was, I Can Read with My Eyes Shut. After enjoying this story, we made our own Dr. Suess character. Here are some of our unique creations:
In Math this week, we explored One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish. We then used this book to sort and graph goldfish and write our own addition problems.
We also reviewed sequencing numbers to ten by reading Ten Apples Up on Top and then created our own self portrait with ten apples on top of our head.
In Science, we read Put Me in the Zoo and then used this story to label the parts of an animal.
We also enjoyed, Horton Hears a Who! Then, we reviewed using our science tool, the hand lens, and used it to match a large picture to the smaller one that looked just like it.
Finally, we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck and had the opportunity to create and explore real live oobleck. Would you want to play with oobleck? Check out our video and see what you think!
