It was a fun week of Dr. Seuss! We read 2 or 3 of his books each day, and the students are now very aware of rhyming words when they hear them.
We read Hop on Pop and added a new word family, op, to our neighborhood. We made a word slide so we could practice reading the words. A list of the words were sent home so you can help your child read them.
The Promethean Board provides a great opportunity for us to participate in rhyme-a-ways. A picture of The Cat in the Hat is on the board. I give the clue, "This tall hat is really wise, but we will have to erase his _____". I leave off the last rhyming word. The students have to tell the missing word. For the person who gets it correct, they come to the board and only erase that part of the cat. The is an engaging activity for all the students.
Dr. Seuss Week was a fun, engaging, learning week for all of us.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.
It's not."
Dr. Seuss from The Lorax
