Seuss Silliness!

I'm not sure about you.... but I am definitely getting excited about celebrating Read Across America Week next week in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. My fellow teachers and I have a blast when it comes to using Dr. Seuss books, characters, and themes to launch a fun filled week of learning. Our school takes part in spirit days to get the students excited about reading Dr. Seuss books as well as other books. Our spirit days are as follows:

Monday - Mixed Up Monday (wear clothes backwards, inside out, or mismatched)

Tuesday - Top Hat Tuesday (wear a top hat, red bow tie, and whiskers!)

Wednesday - Wacky Wednesday (silly socks) We have also done Green Grinch Day.

Thursday - Super Hero Day (dress up as your favorite character in a book. It doesn't have to be a Dr. Seuss Book. Bring the book to school to share with the class.)

Friday - Funny Food Friday (eat silly snacks such as green eggs and ham!)

Top Hat Tuesday is by far our favorite. Many teachers get amped up to dress up on these days. SOOO MUCH FUN!

 
 
Each day is fun-filled with reading stories, creative writing, yummy foods, and silliness! I will take pictures of our activities and post soon! What is your favorite Dr. Seuss story? What do you do in your classroom? I would love to hear from you!
