Hello and happy hoodle doodle dear fantastical parents!
Okay...I epically fail to rhyme like dear old Dr. Seuss but I tried! What a super duper week we had reading just a few of the many Dr. Seuss books. If you haven't already, feel free to pop into the classroom to see our "Seuss Station". The kids think it is pretty fun.
In the halls are just a few samples of the kids' work they did this week.
After reading There's a Wocket in my Pocket, the Penguins created their own "ocket" creatures that would be in their pocket. They named their creatures to rhyme with the word pocket. Check out their pockets on the bulletin board. Friday they will make cookie Cat in Hats after reading Cat in the Hat! Yum!
After reading Green Eggs and Ham, the Seals, worked on patterning using green eggs and ham. They had to "stump Mrs. Burd" with their own ham and eggs patterns. Some of them were pretty complex and they certainly tried their hardest to stump me! The Seals also did some counting with Dr. Seuss! Check out their flip books!
After reading Hop on Pop, the Pre-K Polar Bears made their own "op" family rhyming words. Some of them are quite silly sounding! We also graphed our favorite Seuss character.
After reading And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street, the Polar Bears wrote their own addresses and drew what they would see on THEIR street! On Tuesday, the Polar Bears made cookie Cat in the Hat hats! Yummy!
These are all just a tiny samples of what the kiddos did this week. I truly hope they all enjoyed the wonderful whimsical wacky rhymes of Dr. Seuss.
We will be doing a dual theme next week. We will start the week out with a "Noah's Ark and the Rainbow" theme. We will then add in St. Patrick later in the week.
WELCOME to another new Preschool friend!
We would like to welcome Sadie Blazsyk to our Penguin class family. Sadie started this week. Welcome to St. Francis Sadie! We are so blessed you are with us.
"SPECIAL ME" :
A wonderful suggestion from one of our fabulous parents was to post the upcoming Special Me friend for the week. Great idea! I also have it posted it on our board by the entrance to our room.

We feature the following on our "Special Me" board":
