Let's Seuss it all up here

 Because I have been gone for so long I decided one post with a lot of random unrelated pictures should do the trick.
 We did some of the classics, Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat, and The Lorax, and one that not as many have heard of The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. The latter is on of my favs. It is one, of two books that Seuss wrote, that doesn't rhyme.  The kids thoroughly enjoyed this unit and I can't wait until I get to do it again.

 We made our Green Eggs and Ham of course and a thaumatrope of "Sam I Am" and a plate of green eggs and ham which when twirled come together to create a single image. The kids loved saying optical illusion and I loved hearing them try to say it.




















In "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" the boy ends up with...you guessed it...500 hats. The closer he got to 500 the fancier the hats got so we created our own fancy hats.The kids loved that they got to put their own glitter on :)

We finished our unit with "The Lorax" and here is our edible creation slightly resembling The Lorax. It's a baked potato, sour cream to hold all the ingredients on, shredded cheddar cheese for the mustache and olives for the eyes. Some stick pretzels would have been great for the arms and legs, I know for next time.

And My favorite of the bunch... Our salt dough Loraxes. Because of time issues I hot glued the letters for UNLESS for the children and they were able to paint them and the Lorax they made however they wanted. Its a treasure I hope they all remember!!!

Here are those random things I was talking about...

After Valentine's Day we had plenty of heart candies left. I'm sure I wasn't alone in this predicament, so we graphed them. The kids are starting to get this graphing thing, just in time too because I smell jelly beans in the near future!!



We made some really cute "Love Bug" head bands (that's whats written by the lovely model of course)  and a quick snapshot of our Valentine's Party.
