Dr. Seuss’ Birthday is on the Way!

February 28, 2011 by notjustcute Filed Under: Building Readers, Celebrate!, Learning through Play and Experience, Unit Themes 6 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Dr. Seuss.  Not only is his writing creative, humorous, poetic, and lovably quirky, but as an educator I’ve found it to be the perfect vehicle for promoting phonological awareness, a critical skill for building readers.  With his birthday looming just around the corner (March 2), this is a popular time of year for all things Seuss!

Last year I wrote about some of my favorite Dr. Seuss activities in these three posts:

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Five Favorites…To Start

A Triple Scoop of Seuss

This year, I went looking around the blogosphere for some new ideas and found some I can’t wait to try! 

  • An entire Dr. Seuss unit from Chalk Talk, with 40 pages including patterns and printables!
  • Make a hat like the Cat in the Hat using an oatmeal canister with these pointers from Frugal Family Fun Blog.
  • Amy lists some irresistible ideas at Serving Pink Lemonade.  (Thanks for including mine by the way!)

Do you celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday?  What are some of your favorite activities?  (Feel free to add your links!)

    I’m hosting a whole week of Dr. Seuss books and activities on my blog. It’s fun to share some of my favorite Seuss books with my kids – and the activity ideas are endless!

    Thanks for the wonderful links!

    I loved reading through your posts about Dr. Seuss. Especially the Triple Scoop of Seuss. Your ideas to use along with the books were very cool. We started celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday this past weekend. We made Oobleck for the first time after reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck. My kids loved it.

    What great links. Thanks. The favorite in our house right now is oh say can you say. So yesterday we had some of finneys freshest fresh fish sandwiches (tuna) and spent the day trying to say simple thimble single shingle. Lots of laughs.

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
