This week was Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America Week! We enjoyed reading many Dr. Seuss books and we learned a lot about rhyming! We had many different activities, crafts, and experiments that helped us practice rhyming, allowed us to explore some exciting ideas from Dr. Seuss books, and we even got to have Green Eggs and Ham for lunch one day! We had a Wacky Wednesday, Pajama day, and we even got to watch The Cat in the Hat on our last day of this week! Overall, it was an amazing week and we learned a ton! Our fun fact for this week is that Dr Seuss loved hats, just like the Cat in the Hat! His sister once said that he must have had several hundred hats. And don't forget! "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you!" -Dr. Seuss Learning and DiscoveryFor our group activity, on Tuesday, we read the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. Then we made our prediction of if we would like green eggs and ham, just like Sam I Am. Learn more about how our lunch went in the Green Eggs and Ham section below! On Wednesday we read the Dr Seuss book Fox in Socks, and then we each made our own unique sock! We used a variety of supplies including feathers, yarn, stickers, puzzle pieces, and more! On Thursday it was pajama day, and we watched The Cat in the Hat! We thought it was super funny, and enjoyed eating delicious popcorn while we watched with our friends. We also loved showing our friends our pajamas, and sharing our favorite parts about pajamas! Outdoor PlayFree TimeOn Tuesday, at the Art table we created our own plate of green eggs and ham by tracing and cutting. At the Science station we used colored strips of paper to copy wacky hat patterns, while at the Language table we practiced our rhyming as we matched eggs that had rhyming images and words such as "cat" and "hat". At the Art table on Wednesday, we did blow straw art to create truffula trees, just like the ones we saw in Dr. Seuss's book. At the Language table, we practiced word building with Cat in the Hat. At the Science station we did goldfish graphing and counting (1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish). On Thursday, for our Art table activity, we had a fun Thing 1 Thing 2 craft! (See the Hands-On Activity at the end of this week's blog to see the instructions, and you can do it with your preschooler!) At the Language station we practiced our letters as we wrote the titles of Dr Seuss books on the matching page, and at the Science table we made a hat using plastic cups and paper, and it looked a lot like the Cat in the Hat's! We even stacked all of the cups into a giant hat which was a fun challenge! Green Eggs and HamOn Tuesday, our Culinary Arts Program here at Century served us a lunch of green eggs and ham. We also had biscuits, fruit salad, and delicious rice crispy treats for dessert! Almost all our friends tried the green eggs, and 13 of us liked them, 2 of us did not. We practiced our manners around the table as we said "Please", "Thank you", and overall enjoyed the great lunch!
