Fox in Socks Day

     For our second day of Dr. Seuss theme week we have the book Fox in Socks.  We read it despite the clear warning at the beginning of the book that the sentences can tie your tongue in knots with all the rhymes.    The children wore their craziest socks and we practiced finding and making rhymes.  We even did a fun sort of real words and nonsense words.  We also read Dr. Seuss's Foot Book, for feet go well with socks.  Check out these "Foxy" socks and cute feet!

Our literacy centers are filled with Dr. Seuss this week. Here are just a few. We have several books on our class ipods. The children are loving listening to them at "read along" center. I also have a collection of Dr. Seuss digital books for the ipad. The apps are the books with the option to have the books read aloud. The apps are on sale this week from Oceanhouse Media Books. I highly recommend! There is a magnetic letter center where students are assembling famous Dr. Seuss quotes. We also have a wacky letter game similar to Twister but with a Dr. Seuss twist. The kids have to put their hands and feet and EAR on different letters and sounds. So fun!

 

Such a fun day!  We graphed our socks and got lots of practice counting by twos.  And, with Fox in Socks, we just had to dance to "What Does the Fox Say?"  We had a special "One Fish, Two Fish" snack.  This Dr. Seuss week is a blast.  Can't wait to celebrate more reading!
