We had lots of fun reading Dr. Suess books this past month and studying about this amazing author. The students enjoyed our Cat in the Hat Birthday party celebration with making oobleck, making masks, reviewing rhyming books and eating green eggs and ham.
Here are some of those "crazy cats" with their favorite Dr. Suess books.
Making and playing with Oobleck was very FUN!!!
" Hey, it melts in my hand!"
Eating Green Eggs and Ham was enjoyed by most, but not all.
These two gave it a "thumbs down! I do NOT like green eggs and ham! I do not like them,
Sam I am!"
Science- The study of Plants. We were the best Botanists ever!
We dissected lima beans and learned about what is inside.
We planted our "groovy grass" and it grew into Groovy Grass Guys and Gals
with luscious green hair! We observed root systems.
We are cute!
We did experiments with celery and observed how stems and leaves on plants work. We found out that the plants did not like the red dye at all.
Give a pot of gold to OPA.
Climb up a rainbow!
Play tricks on people!
Eat my chocolate coins!
Be crazy and graph my Lucky Charms!
We earned our 230 class points for good behavior and hard work each day. Our "Mystery Motivator" activity was........
A CHALK PARTY!
Color Party.... Thanks to our awesome room parents for planning a wonderful color party. We had such a great time and learned some new things too.
