Friday of our super fun Seuss week included Green Eggs and Ham. In the morning, we ate green eggs and ham. Delicious! Thank you to the Ms. Mindi and the Weigums. The children LOVED it! Of course, we read the famous story. Then, we did a graph of if we liked Green Eggs and Ham or not. Most kids did!
Then, we did a rewrite of the story Green Eggs and Ham. The students had to think of something they didn't like to eat and make some rhymes to go with! They turned out great! The students had to work really hard on the rhymes.
We not only wore green for Green Eggs and Ham. In the afternoon, we talked about "going green" for our environment. We read Dr. Seuss's story The Lorax. The Lorax has an important ecology lesson about protecting Earth's natural resources. We read so many great Dr. Seuss books this week. One of my favorite activities we did this week was writing book recommendations for our favorite Seuss stories. So much thinking, writing, speaking, and tech-ing went into this project. First, the students had to formulate their opinions and write a book report.
The second graders went a step beyond the book report. We recorded their book recommendation in front of the green screen and then added sections of the book behind them. Here are just a couple examples.
