March Madness

I know that I am not the only one that is already looking ahead to March. March is not only crammed with wonderful learning possibilities; it is also my month to celebrate....MY BIRTHDAY! I am so excited I can't stand it. My husband has things planned for me for the whole weekend. I know there is going to be a southern style cook out and fish fry. What can I say...I love to eat. Once I have stuffed myself with all of that grill-fry goodness, I am back to business on Monday.

I have been getting ready for Read Across America Week. Mrs. Bowman (another fellow Kindergarten teacher) and I will be doing the following activities:

Monday (March 4^th)-Cat in the Hat: Dress as Things and teachers dress as the cats (All classes in K are doing this)

Purpose: Teach about being honest; introduce Dr. Seuss and his book collection

Tuesday (March 5^th)-The Lorax: Wear orange and I will have moustaches provided

Purpose: Teach students about keeping the Earth clean, taking responsibility for our actions, seven habits-be proactive

Wednesday (March 6)-Fox in Socks and Wacky Wednesday:  Dress wacky (mismatched clothes and crazy socks).

Purpose: Teach students about tongue twisters, what's wrong with the picture.

Thursday (March 7)-Oh the Places You'll Go: Dress to show what you want to be when you grow up.

Purpose: Teach students about having a goal, seven habits-think with the end in mind, and how do can we reach our goals.

Friday (March 8)-The Sneeches: Wear yellow and I pin green stars on their shirts
