Celebration Ideas for Read Across America

In addition to these 13 Fun and Clever Dr. Seuss Ideas For the Classroom, these ideas are just plain fun for the classroom.

Send students on a search looking for evidence of these characters in Dr. Seuss books.

With a few craft supplies, you've got yourself a clover gift to give every student what reminds them what makes a person using the famous Dr. Suess quote from Horton Hears a Who.

Create a DIY McElligot's Pool to be a reading nook with your Seuss books for students to choose from for independent reading. Have those stuffed characters? Give them a place to live too while celebrating in the month of March.

Keep students motivated by using this whole group incentive Oh the Places You'll Go incentive jar for the month of March. What would you have your students earn - would you do this for a reading challenge or behavior?

What creativity can come from these brightly colored tufted creatures? Have your students draw Tizzled Topped Tufted Mazurkas.

Allow students to pose with their favorite book. Turn these favorite book photo shoot pictures into book recommendations or book report pieces.

Bring your favorite images from a compilation of Dr. Suess books (perfect if any have been slightly damaged or been worn out) and create a fun chair that is perfect for a library section of the classroom.

Create yourself a special set of pencils for students to use when students are working on writing pieces (writing those sparkling adjectives) or as a reward for accomplishing a task.

Read Across America Treats

Yummy chocolate faces on healthy snacks make these Grinch party poppers a delicious way to bring a recognizable character into the mix.

This one will take a little time to prepare, but the payoffs will be huge. A Suess-inspired treat in the form of Cat in the Hat Jello Snack cups.

With a free printable included, making the paper slips for these yummy cotton candy covered cupcakes will be a cinch.

Who can create butter the fastest after reading the Butter Battle book? Students can explore liquids changing into a tasty solid and see if they prefer their toast butter-side up or butter-side down.

Teacher Gear

Celebrate a day of reading with by hosting an "I love to read!" day in your classroom or school-wide.

A free I Heart Dr. Seuss printable that can be transferred onto a canvas tote that you can purchase at a big box store.

What a fantastic collection! Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas to begin with! I hope you can find at least two ideas that will work for you this year.

What are your favorite books to read or have on hand? Do you have good stash of Seuss books?

Here is a quick bulletin board idea to wrap up your Dr. Seuss unit using the book " Oh, the Places You'll Go! "

Students will write about what they want to be when they grow up on hot air balloons - which are super simple to make. These turned out SO cute!

Let me share how to make these and give you a free download for the writing paper too.

Here's how to make your: Oh the Places You'll Go! Activity

1. Cut scrapbook paper into hot air balloon shapes and let students pick their favorite pattern.

2. Then cut a basket from brown paper.

3. Have students write about what they want to be when they grow up.

4. Add two pieces of string to attach the balloon to the basket and glue their writing piece onto the front of the balloon basket.

5. For even more cuteness, add a cut out photo of each student (just their upper half) into the basket like they are riding the hot air balloon.

You can head on over to my blog to download the writing paper for FREE...

Hooray for Dr. Seuss! With Read Across America coming up soon, we took the opportunity to try out this fun and easy Dr Seuss STEM challenge. Inspired by The Cat In The Hat, I put together a simple STEM activity to stack the cat's hat. Join the challenge and find out how tall you can stack your hat!

CAT IN THE HAT CUP STACKING GAME

FUN WITH DR SEUSS

There are so many fun ways to pair your favorite, classic Dr. Seuss books with cool STEM and science activities. Take a look at any of our Dr Seuss science activities to find a few ideas to try for Dr. Seuss' birthday this year. Of course, Dr. Seuss is in style all year round!

Our STEM activities are designed with you, the parent or teacher, in mind. Easy to set up, quick to do, most activities will take only 15 to 30 minutes to complete and are heaps of fun! Plus, our supplies lists usually contain only free or cheap materials you can source from home.

Turn a classic cup stacking game into a Dr Seuss STEM challenge inspired by the book, The Cat In The Hat. Everyone knows about the cat's hat!

Can you stack the cat's hat with just cups and paper?

DR SEUSS CUP STACKING CHALLENGE

How tall can you make the cat's hat? Take the Dr. Seuss STEM challenge and find out!

YOU WILL NEED:

DR SEUSS STEM CHALLENGE SET UP

STEP 1. Prep for this activity by cutting squares of paper appropriate to the size of the cups you will be using. We used two very different size cups, so I cut two different size squares of paper in red and white.

STEP 2. Set out the stack of cups and the paper squares. Invite your kids to stack the cat's hat!

Make sure to read The Cat In The Hat book together too! Dr Seuss STEM and literacy in one easy and fun activity!

THE RESULTS

At first, my son just tried to stack the cups in various ways, but nothing really worked out for him. I suggested he test out the other supply that was set out for the activity, the paper.

After a few tries, he got it. This is fun for multiple ages!

Try not to jump in too quickly with the solution. Trial and error is a wonderful learning experience for young kids and a valuable lesson to learn for later.

What else can you find to stack the cat's hat?

WHAT'S THE SEUSS SCIENCE?

Why do we use the paper squares for this Dr Seuss cup stacking challenge? The paper squares create a stable base to help disperse the weight of the cups.

To some extent, gravity helps to keep the tower up if the weight is properly distributed! What happens when it gets top heavy? Gravity can also make the tower topple over. We got to see both in action quite a few times.

Are the bigger cups easier than the smaller cups? Can you build a tower with just cups? Measure the height of your "hat".

A week is just not enough time to celebrate all the wonderful works of Dr. Seuss but we tried. Dr. Seuss week might be the most fun unit I teach all year! I like to have a theme each day, so for the past few years, my schedule has been Crazy Hat Day on Monday, Silly Socks Day on Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday on, you guessed it, Wednesday and Green Eggs and Ham Day on Thursday. If I happen to be teaching five days, then the fifth day is Pajama Day and, hopefully, falls on Dr. Seuss's birthday. Because I am only teaching four days this year, we combined Pajama Day with Green Eggs and Ham day. Just because we have a theme, though, doesn't mean we limit ourselves in the books we read! This year's celebration was another fun-filled week!

We started with a new bulletin board. This year, I was inspired by the many wonderful ideas on Pinterest. The original sources can be found on my Preschool Ideas Pinterest board.I have not quite figured out how to link the source here yet.

Of course, we all wore our silliest hats. Apparently many of these children have been to Disney. We did some Cat in the Hat math and some Cat in the Hat Comes Back Science. In the book The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, the cat comes to visit and uses Mother's white dress to clean a terrible pink mess. Then he brings in his Voom to clean the dress. We tried to see if we could clean a terrible pink mess, too.

I found this experiment on www.stevespanglerscience.com. It just goes to show that Oxyclean works every bit as well as the Cat's Voom in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back! I just used regular tap water so it took a couple of hours for the stain to come out completely but it works much quicker with warm water.

Tuesday, as I said, was Silly Socks day. We had lots of silly socks and we focused on feet most of the day. Of course we read Fox in Sox and The Foot Book.

We cut out pictures of feet and glued them to a foot shape because we still need lots of practice cutting and controlling how much glue we use!
We did a measurement activity using a fun foam "foot" that just happens to be a "foot" long. I designed the form and need to convert it to .pdf. As soon as I figure out how, I will link it here.

We did half of the measurement at school and then sent it home as "homework". Feel free to make up your own form to include items in your classroom to measure.

Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday. This year we had the added bonus of it also being Leap Day which is pretty wacky itself. We had the children dress in their wackiest attire and we "wackied" up the room a bit.

We read the story Wacky Wednesday by Theo. LeSieg which is Dr. Seuss' real first name and his last name spelled backwards. We let the children draw and water color their own "Seuss-like" character and in honor of Leap Day, folded origami frogs.

We also graphed colored Goldfish crackers and read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
