Read Across America!



I love when I am able to incorporate some of my favorite activities that I did as a classroom teacher into our home school days.  We got together with friends this year and celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday with a Read Across America celebration.

 

 

We began our day with a reading of "Green Eggs and Ham" and of course had to try some of our own.  I think almost all of the kiddos tried them and liked them.  We may have had one or two opt out of the green eggs.  Ha!  I can't say I blame them.  They do look weird.

My favorite part of the day was our Reader's Theatre.  Everyone had a part and dressed up as their character.  Each reader made their own costume.  They were all so creative!!  Here are our narrators (The Cat in the Hat)

Thing 1 and Thing 2

 

The Lorax

The Grinch

 

 

Somehow I didn't get a picture of Mr. Brown and the Fish in a Dish.  They were just as fantastic as all of our other readers.

 

Finally we ended the day with making our own book marks

 

 

I think everyone had a great time celebrating reading and the wonderful Dr. Seuss.
