apples and papers: Dr. Seuss and Lovely Award (Huge Smile)

Before anything else I must thank Julie at Lighting a Fire in Third Grade for giving me an award. I feel so honored!!

Okay I know it seems the whole country is having crazy weather, but it was crazy enough up here to cause us to have not one, but yes TWO, snow days this week. Then we got hit with a near like blizzard last night. It is craziness I tell you. Regarding school it might be good since my class has seem to be off a little lately. I don't know if it is that we had a performance on Tuesday night, the weather, or what is going on. Due to all the snow days, I didn't get to do even half the stuff I had planned but here is the run down of his birthday party.

The fun started with a Dr. Seuss word search from Rachelle’s at What A Teacher Wants Dr. Seuss Unit. The students had red and white striped Dr. Seuss pencils awaiting them.

As a class we watch Green Eggs and Ham from www.bookit.com read by Tim Tebow. I know this is a book most of my students have read before and who are they going to listen to me or a famous quarterback. Even I would rather have him read to me. We discussed some text-to-self connections we made to the text.

Then I used this gem of a packet:

from Kelley at Buggy for Second GradeSeusstabular packet to work on writing a personal response to Green Eggs and Ham. This is something we have to start doing weekly and some of my sweeties need a lot of practice. They helped me write my response and wrote their own.

And finally what party is complete without some goodies! So we made green eggs and hams- dessert style thanks to ever wonderful pinterest! I forgot my camera at school so here it the picture of it from Pinterest.

This idea originated from My Little Gems blog. We turned normal vanilla pudding into green pudding with magical food coloring. I swear this is magic to students. I pull this out of the closet instantly everyone so attentive to every move that is made.
