I love this week every single year! Everyone loves Dr. Seuss and all his books, so how could I not? Here is a peek at what we are up to…
I have several things lined up! First, I have all my Dr. Seuss books out and ready to go…My favorite to use in therapy is “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”! It has such great language concepts in it with all of the descriptive vocabulary and opposites. I am using that as my artic craft this week too. I forgot to get a pic up close, but you can see it hanging on my board. I just cut out a bunch of construction paper fish and the kids write their speech words from the story on them.
I made this chart of words by speech sounds from the story…you can download it HERE.
I have also done the famous striped hat…not this year, but here is an example from last year. You can find the template HERE. They have lots of other printables, too!
Next is the felt board pieces that I found last summer on clearance at Michael’s! I have the felt on a bulletin board to do a group activity. We talked about each of the characters, what stories they are from, and did a little describing.
But I also can take off those individual pieces of felt and give one to each student! Now we are making up our own stories, practicing basic concepts, and following directions. These felt pieces are so versatile and I love them!
We are also planning to make Oobleck with my firsties later this week…can’t wait to share how that turns out! And of course, I am filling the gaps with my March toolkit!
I hope that you are doing some Suessy stuff in your room this week, too! I would love to hear about it, so leave me a comment!
xoxo,

I do the same thing, get out all my Seuss books and we use them this week, love the artic fish idea.. stealing that one! 🙂 My kids love Cat in Hat so we do something with that book every year. Usually read it and talk about it, sequence the events, etc. I also have a worksheet where the kids pic their favorite scene from a book, draw it and write about it. We do some rhyming activities too. This year I am gonna TRY to fit in making some hats from an idea I got off Piniterest where you use oreos, red gummy savors and white icing..:) Yumm.. Oh and may bring up the Seussville web site on the smart board too if have time.. Too much to do and not enough time is there?? 🙂
Your activities sound great too! There is WAY too much to do and not enough time… Suess might spill on over into next week too! Thanks Mary!
I started all things Seuss this morning with The Lorax for my third graders. Moved on to Green Eggs and Ham later in the day. Just posted on FB that my own speech seems to be coming out in rhyme tonight! Wonder why?
Lol, Cee, I think we all might be rhyming by the end of the week!
Thanks for sharing your ideas! Today with my preschoolers we read The Foot Book. Then I traced their feet (shoes on) onto construction paper. This was the title page for their very own “foot book”. Then I traced extra white feet and stapled them to make the book. I had them draw a picture of each of their /f/ words on each page. This was lots of fun! I will do the same with my language kids, using opposites from the book instead of artic words.
Oh I love that idea!
I’m not doing Dr. Seuss this week even though I typically do. I’m busy gathering data for progress reports. I’ll have to file these activities away for next year!
Booo! Hope you get through all your data collection!
Hey! Love what you posted. For some reason I can’t download your word list! Do you still have a pdf copy?
Thank you Stacey! Sorry about that! I just updated the link, so you should be able to grab it now 🙂
