Seuss on the Loose

We have spent the last week doing our author study of Dr. Seuss. We began our week with Green Eggs and Ham, and ended with the much anticipated The Lorax.  From there to here, and here to there, we had funny things everywhere. Our classroom hallway walls were decorated with a tribute to Dr. Seuss.  Everyone loved our Thing 1 and Thing 2's parading above our lockers.  My class even told me how they wanted their arms and legs to move.  Using brads to attach the arms and legs made our "Things" more whimsical.  Each child's Thing was named with their corresponding number from our class roster.  Their smiling faces are in the center cut out circle.  Much cuter than drawing a face or adding googly eyes.  Plus the kids love seeing themselves!  I scattered some of Dr. Seuss's famous quotes along the wall.
