Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday. All this week, we will be celebrating the birth of the man who had a huge impact on children learning to read all over the world.Today, I read Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. We discussed that Green Eggs and Ham was written using only 50 words repeated over the course of the book (see the "Wordle" to the left). The students were then challenged to create their own stories using only 50 words. In honor of Fox in Socks, tomorrow will be "Crazy Socks Day" in our room. Students are encouraged to wear socks that stand out (hopefully not due to the smell!).
We also watched one of my favorite renditions of Green Eggs and Ham, found here. LOVE IT!
On Friday, we will be celebrating our job well-done on ISAT. Some students have offered to bring in treats. They were told to ASK (not TELL) the adults in their lives about this and make sure it was OK.
Homework: A Math Minute Assessment is on its way home for a signature tonight.
