The Connected Kinders brought silly hats and smiles to school Thursday to celebrate Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat. Another fun theme day! We started the day with some Thing 1 and Thing 2 Bump, an addition game. Students had so much fun with the game, they didn't even realize how much adding practice they were doing!
Later in the day, after reading both The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, we did our daily graph. At the end of The Cat in the Hat, Dr. Seuss asks if you would tell your mom about the adventure if it happened to you. The kids answered the question in a graph; however, they didn't use their names....in case moms were going to see it! Instead we used our "Thing" numbers! Good news, most kids would tell mom!
We also made a Cat in the Hat art project. I showed the kids a sample of the art project. We studied it together. The students told me what shapes they saw, how many of each shape, and where each shape was placed. Then, I hung up the sample, pointed to a table full of the shapes, and said go! The children didn't get any specific directions. They really had to think about how to assemble the project. They did a great job! The cat projects and the cutest "Things" you have ever seen are hanging in the hallway outside our room.
