After reading the Dr. Seuss book "The Lorax," we decided to watch the movie! We also created a venn diagram comparing the book to the movie, and found many similarities and differences between the two! 

We had so much fun celebrating one of our favorite classroom authors, Dr. Seuss! These preschoolers came to school to find their teachers dressed as some of their favorite characters.... 

​We then read the Dr. Seuss book "The Lorax" and painted our own Truffula trees, using forks!  

And to end our day, we had a little photobooth fun. Happy Birthday, Dr Seuss! 

After reading the Dr. Seuss story "Green Eggs and Ham," we decided to do a taste testing of real green eggs and ham! The students each got green eggs and ham to eat, and they then decided if they liked them or not (or did not choose to try them.) Yum!! 

To begin Dr. Seuss week, we read the story "The Cat in the Hat!" After reading the story, we took a vote on whether or not we would let the cat into our house if he showed up! We then colored our own hats, and built "cat in the hat structures" using paper and cups. What a fun start to this special week! 

During recess, we noticed our shadows following us around on the blacktop! We made the connection that since it was a very sunny day, our shadows would show up. These shadow hunters had a blast finding their shadows. 

In religion, we have been learning about baptism! We learned what it means to be baptized, and then the students (and their teachers) brought in pictures from their own baptisms! It was awesome seeing these preschoolers share pictures of their families and their baptisms. Then, Father Dan was kind enough to have us over at church to show us the process of becoming baptized! What an amazing experience for these preschoolers to witness the baptism process first hand. 

Since we have been learning about shadows, we decided to experiment with flashlights! These preschoolers used a flashlight to create a shadow on black paper, and then their partner traced their shadow with a white crayon. It was so fun seeing these rockstars work together and explore the concept of shadows. We also experimented using the flashlights on the ground to see our shadows.
