Dr Seuss Week is one of my favorites! I look forward to it every year. Our librarian does such an awesome job of planning enrichment activities throughout the week. Plus, she turns to whole school into Seussville! Every detail is so well planned out. The students enjoy every moment and hopefully will motivate them to open more books! 
This year’s schedule-
Monday: Cat in the Hat Day. Student’s wore their favorite hats and a guest read the Cat in the Hat to every grade level.
Tuesday: Fox in Socks Day. Students wore crazy socks!
Wednesday: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Day. Students wore red or blue and a special guest read the book. She did the dancing milk activity and explained how having a fun positive attitude will spread out to everyone you meet. 
Dancing Milk Materials
- Tray
- Dish Soap
- Sponge (for wiping up any mess)
- Plate
- Food Coloring
- Milk
- Object to Dip into Dish Soap (q-tip)
Directions: Pour a thin layer of milk into the bottom of the tray. Add the drops of food coloring. Dip the q-tip into the dish soap. Last, dip the dish soap q-tip into the the milk and watch the colors spread out and dance!
Thursday: Green Eggs and Ham Day. The cafeteria served green eggs and ham for breakfast. Then, we had a guest come read to every grade level.
Friday: Hop on Pop Day. Wear pajamas for popcorn and movie during specials rotation.
Next year, I hope we can fit in Oh, the Places You’ll Go and have students dress for what they want to be when they grow up.
Some of our classroom activities:
- Reader’s Theater.
- We also wrote an essay explaining who we were, then made ourselves into the Cat in the Hat. http://www.learnandgrowdesigns.com/2012/03/dr-seuss-cat-in-hat-craft-template.html
We thought about what this Lorax quote meant to each student, then wrote a paragraph explaining how we could show we care a whole awful lot everyday.
We had a blast this week! Thank you to everyone who made this week possible. I can’t wait until next year!
Check back! I’ll add more Dr Seuss activities as I find them!
