To "kick off" our read-a-thon reading, we wore silly socks. Our annual read-a-thon coincides with Read Across American and Dr. Seuss's birthday, so reading the book Fox in Socks seemed like a must today! 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 our "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. There is a magnetic letter center where students are assembling famous Dr. Seuss quotes. Students are writing silly sentences of rhyming words in another center. For word work, students are matching the scrambled green eggs of mixed up sight words. 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!
