Celebrating Dr. Seuss
I am a lover of all things Dr. Seuss. I saw an awesome activity for Dr. Seuss' birthday on Teaching In Room 6 and finally was able to make it work in our schedule. The main task aligned so well with our current reading comprehension goals and it was great to switch gears and have some fun in reading groups!
The main task was to read a classic Dr. Seuss book, discuss the story in their small group, and then rename the story. We've learned how to use the theme and message of a story to generate a new equally fitting title for books. The added bonus here was to come up with Dr. Seuss worthy titles!
The kids loved this week of reading fun! It was great to let our hair down and do a fun project. The kids got a trip out of the new titles they came up with and they all got to flex their artistic muscles.

It's always so great to see the kids get so engaged with learning! As I've always said, your kids are blessed to have you for their teacher.
Oh, I loved reading 'A Big Ball of String' to my kids when they were young. Such great books!
These books are so colourful. I think my older children use to like these when they were younger. Thanks for hosting Tamar :)
What an awesome project! So fun! These books will be treasured keepsakes too I bet!
...I have enjoyed reading these books to my children and grandchildren for year, what fun.
It's always so fun to see the creativity come out!
I love to read Dr. Suess to Little Man and Marissa!! Love your perspective on the images. XO Laurie
That's a cute idea! Most of the titles make sense but I always thought One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish could have another title!
That is very cool. I remember enjoying reading Dr.Suess to my kids when they were young.
I'm a big fan of Dr. Seuss!
This looks like a fun and creative learning activity, and it looks like your class enjoyed it very much!
Horton hears a Who....love it! These are great! Have a wonderful weekend!
We love Dr. Suess week too. You teachers are SO very creative with your projects and who doesn't love to come up with their own silly words!?
And a great author to celebrate he is too
