Dr. Seuss Week!

Last week, the children had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday.  We started out the week making The Cat in the Hat and writing our spelling words on the hat.  We ended the week with a Dr. Seuss read-a-thon.  The children rotated to all 6 first grade classrooms to hear a different Seuss book read.  Friday, we read The Lorax and completed a Truffula Forest Map of the different story elements.We also made cute little Lorax's and wrote how we would save the trees.

The Lorax

We had so much fun today making the Lorax and Truffala Trees!
The children wrote what they would do to help save the Truffala trees. 
Thanks to www.learncreatelove.com for the printouts and ideas!

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
- Dr. Seuss - The Lorax 










After reading the Lorax,  we completed a Truffala Story Map Forest.  On the trees, we wrote the problem, solution, characters, setting, and the main idea.  We also watched the Lorax movie.  We will compare the movie and book soon.
