Dr. Seuss Weekly Activities

It's been another month and I apologize.  I am now 34 weeks pregnant and it is taking its toll.  I am trying to prep for a sub and a new baby all at the same time.  Here is what I am looking like now-a-days:

 
I wanted to give you all a peek into what we did over Dr. Seuss week last week.  As his birthday was Saturday, we celebrated all week long in preparation for this great author's birthday.  Some activities included: 

A special snack each day to go with a book. 
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish - colored goldfish
If I Ran the Zoo - animal crackers
Green Eggs and Ham - scrambled green eggs and ham cubes (of course ;)
The Cat in the Hat - Jello and whipped cream Thing 1 and Thing 2 cups that I made.  Here is a pic:


We also made 2 class books, one related to The Cat in the Hat where they wrote about what they would do on a rainy day and another one related to If I Ran the Zoo where they wrote about what animal they would be and why.  I compile these into class books that I rotate through until everyone has had it, then it goes into the classroom library.

We also made colored people with liquid watercolors to go with My Many Colored Days.  We then wrote a sentence stating which color we would be and how it makes us feel.  Here is how they turned out:
 
We also made Thing 1 or Thing 2 paintings.  These turned out sooo cute!
