Backwards clothes and inside out? A fist in the tree? A shoe on the wall and our schedule written backwards? It must be Dr. Seuss's Wacky Wednesday! What a fun book! This Wacky Wednesday students walked in and were told to do the math page at their desks. They couldn't see the paper and we trying to tell me it wasn't there. I kept repeating the directions, "Do the math paper at your desk." Finally, a student noticed the wackiness. The paper was taped under the desk. I've never heard students giggle so much doing a worksheet! Ha! Next, the students went on a wacky hunt....they listed all the wacky things in our room!
Of course, we took a close look at the book. We put it up on the document camera so that we had a full view of all the wackiness. We had to read the book in 15 minute chunks because the children were looking so closely for all the strange things hidden in each illustration.
Later in the day we read Dr. Seuss's Hop on Pop and had some pop and popcorn. We also made whirly birds to celebrate Wacky Wednesday. On our whirly birds we wrote five important "wh" words: who, what, when, where, and why. Then, we would throw the whirly bird in the air, as it twirled down we had to see if we could spell the "wh" word called out. Wacky Wednesday spelling lesson for sure!
