Robin Nash Helped Us Wish Dr. Seuss a Happy Birthday!

Last Friday we were treated to a Dr. Seuss read-aloud by the one and only, Robin Nash from My 103.9. She read us "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" and then stayed to answer lots of questions from curious 1st and 2nd graders.

Robin was a ton of fun and the students had a wonderful time interacting with her. Since her visit she has generously invited my class to her station for a tour and to record a real commercial in a production studio for the upcoming "Taste of Sonoran Sky" event. Details to follow very soon...

Firefighters

On Friday, some firefighters stopped by the classroom in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. They brought us a bag full of special gifts and spent some time talking about safety and answering our (many) questions. We loved chatting with the firefighters and were so excited that they came by!

Planting a Truffula Tree

This week we read the book The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss in preparation for Dr. Seuss' birthday! After reading the story, students planted their own truffula trees and then wrote a sequel to The Lorax.

Truffula Trees!

The Grinch!

My class agreed it would be fun to participate in a Reader's Theater based on the book, How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. Using Testmoz, students let me know which roles they were interested in (and not interested in). I did a random drawing for students eager to play the role(s) of the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, Quotations Who and the much coveted, Max the dog. At the last minute our original Grinch was out sick and the original Max had second thoughts and decided a speaking role was preferable. Luckily, the students were very flexible and we managed to find some willing understudies! We had a ton of fun presenting this Reader's Theater the last day before Winter Break.

Happy Holidays!
