The Cat in the Hat

We made paper Cat in the Hat hats.

We thought of what we would do if the cat came to our house.

Map Skills

We have been working on map skills. We watched a Discovery Streaming video on maps and drew a map of our classroom. For homework, we drew maps of our bedrooms. We worked together to make a floor map of our school. We learned about how to make a map, what maps are for, and about map symbols. We also made cookie maps- the green is the land, the blue is the water, and the small candies are the buildings.




We used our new screen and projector to watch a Discovery Streaming video about maps and models.

We learned what models were and then we all went and found models in our classroom.

Bartholomew and the Oobleck

We read Bartholomew and the Oobleck and then we made our own oobleck and compared the two.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

We wore hats in honor of Dr. Seuss' book The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.


We looked for naming words (nouns) while we read. We made a tree map to show some of the nouns we found in the book.

Green Eggs and Ham

We all dressed in green in honor of Dr. Seuss and his book Green Eggs and Ham.

We read Green Eggs and Ham and then we made green eggs and ham! Do you like them with a fox? Would you like them in a box? We like green eggs and ham!






We made a circle map to show things that are the color green.

Wacky Wednesday

Wacky Wednesday is a book by Theo. LeSeig (aka Dr. Seuss) with pictures by George Booth. The concept of the book is that a boy wakes up and realizes that his whole town has gone "wacky". Birds are chasing cats, shoes show up everywhere but on people's feet, and misspellings abound. Each picture has an increasing number of wacky things, beginning with one shoe on the wall, and ending with twenty wacky things.

On Wednesday, everybody in kindergarten got wacky, including the Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Fowler, Miss Patsel, Mrs. Larremore!
