A Seussical Week

Last week at school we celebrated Dr. Seuss' 108th birthday in a big way at Kickapoo!  We were doing activities of various kinds daily.  There were dress up days all week including Hat Day, My Many Colors Day where each class wore a different color, Wacky Wednesday which was cancelled due to our Ice Day, Wear red in honor of the Cat in the Hat, and finally, Pajama Day on Friday.  It was so fun to see all the kids dressed up for the different days.  Elementary kids eat these kinds of activities up!

In the Library, we did all sorts of fun activities during the week, too.  I had a Seuss Trivia Contest for every day of the week with one question for students in grades 4K-2 and one question for students in grades 3-5.  The kids couldn't wait to hear what the question for the day was so they could submit their answers in the jars in the Library.  For every question, I had winners from each grade level so that more students were winners. I was able to get some really cute Seuss pens off of Amazon and some Seuss buttons/tattoos/bookmarks.

Perhaps my favorite Library Activity last week was making the Cat in the Hat cookies I saw on Pinterest out of Oreos, Gummy Savers and frosting.  The kids had a blast making the hat cookies and they told me they tasted so good!  It was fun to watch their faces as they concentrated so hard in putting together the cookies.

We had a very fun week and can't wait for next year to see all the fun, new things we'll be doing to celebrate Seuss again!
