Dr. Seuss Week, Day 3...Oh, The Places You'll Go

 Wednesday we worked with one of my absolute favorites of all Dr. Seuss' books, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!  The kids loved the bright pictures!  My first year teaching I started a classroom book themed off of this book called, "Oh, The Places Miss Jones' Class Will Go" and every year each class adds to the book!  The students picked great places they would like to go, but most of them said they would like to go to Disney World!!!  I would have to agree with them, I would love to go to Disney too!!

Dr. Seuss Week, Day 1...Horton Hactches The Egg


Today we read Horton Hatches The Egg and wrote about how we like to help people just like Horton helped the Whos from Who-ville in the book.





Dr. Seuss Day

This Friday, March 1st, we are going to celebrate Dr. Seuss' 109th Birthday!  His real birthday is Saturday, March 2nd, but this is such a fun day for the students that I decided to celebrate this wonderful writer a day early!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, look in your student's folders for more info about Dr. Seuss Day!

Happy 100th Day of School

I cannot believe we have already been in school for over 100 days!  This year is flying by and I am so proud of my students for all they have already learned!  I can't wait to see how much more they grow by the end of the year!
