Dr. Seuss week

This week, we celebrated the works of Dr. Seuss! We read "Oh the Thinks You Can Think!" This is on of Mrs. Wadsworth's favorites because it encourages readers to use their imagination! Dr. Seuss is widely known for his creativity, humor, and wonderful ability to rhyme. He published 43 children's books, and none of them have ever gone out of print! To learn more about Dr. Seuss and his life, read "The boy on Fairfield Street: how Ted Geisel grew up to become Dr. Seuss."

We also read "Green Eggs and Ham." This book was written on a dare from Dr. Seuss's publisher--he bet that Dr. Seuss couldn't write a book using only 50 words--these words could be used over and over again, but only those 50 words could be used. It still had to have all the basics of a story, of course, and still had to be interesting enough to publish. "Green Eggs and Ham" ended up being one of his best sellers. Can you list the 50 words he used? Try this sporcle quiz to find out.

We also watched a clip from a recent production of "Seussical the Musical", to show us how much Dr. Seuss and his work has touched our society.

Thanks for everything! We love you, Dr. Seuss!
