Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess!

Although the beloved author's birthday isn't until tomorrow, we took the oppotunity to celebrate a little today!  We started the day by watching the movie version of The Cat In the Hat.  The kids loved it!  I wish I could say the same.  The twins have recently become OBSESSED with "the cat", so we have had the movie on repeat at our house for weeks.  At least Alec Baldwin is in the movie...

 



This afternoon, we invited Mrs. Weinzapfel's kindergarten crew over for some Suess-tastic partner reading!  The kids paired up and read together.  They always enjoy this sort of peer activity with the younger students in the building. 

 

 



After some EEKK time, the kids enjoyed some One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish snacks while they watched the cartoon version of The Cat In the Hat.  The 4th graders wrapped up the day by completing a compare/contrast on the two versions of the popular story.

Watching the movie while enjoying some fish!

 

 

Overall, fun was had by all!  The Jungle Crew welcomed the relaxing day after 4 days of ISTEP Boot Camp this week!  We are ready to rock the test next week!
