I Can Do That!

Last week I surprised my kindergarten friends with a fun Seuss gift. 
I wrapped the gift and hid it... and gave the students clues to figure out what their surprise might be. 
They did a REALLY awesome job with inferring! 
(I had the clues covered... and didn't show the packages/wrapping until clue #3)


The students were SO EXCITED to unwrap two fun Seuss games! 
          
The matching game was a HUGE HIT during free choice. We all loved the I Can Do That game and played it many times throughout our Seuss unit. 
To play, you choose 3 funny task cards...  such as crawl around the Trick-a-ma-Stick with a dress on your head. If you do it successfully, you keep the cards.





On my turn I pulled:
Slide through the Trick-a-ma-Stick
with Mother's Dress
under your right arm

Funniest.Moment.Ever.

It was SO FUN to watch The Lorax with 14 of my kindergarten friends and their families today!

We all thought the movie was GREAT!

I tried to get pictures of everyone... but it was a little tricky! :)
 Sorry I missed some of you!





If you have't seen The Lorax yet, I recommend checking it out!

Read about ANYTHING, ANYWHERE!

My students are amazing growing readers!
I am really thrilled with the progress they have been making. 

Today we brainstormed and illustrated places that readers read.




("on my mom's lap" LOVE IT!!)


You can grab the "Where do readers read?" sheets from Jonelle at A Place Called Kindergarten

We also discussed what readers like to read about and then made these:



Love my growing readers! 







They know that readers can read 
about ANYTHING, ANYWHERE!
