The Lorax

Have you seen "The Lorax" movie yet?  My mom & I took Noah to see it a couple of weeks ago and we all loved it!  I know Dr. Seuss week is way over, but if you need some fun stuff to do at the end of the year  in your classroom or at home with you own kiddo's.  Take a look at these fun ideas...

Lorax Fruit Snack from Kitchen fun with My Three Sons

Lorax lunch idea from Little Nummies

Lorax cupcakes from Hoosier Homemade

Lorax party from Tonya Staab

free fun Lorax unit from 2 Teaching Mommies

I downloaded this unit to do with Noah and he loved it!  He asks every day, "Can we do more Lorax pages today?"  

Here he is doing the Truffula Tree Size Sort!  Notice how he is lining them up in exact straight lines?  Poor little guy, he inherited his Mommy's perfectionist side!  

Just thought I would brag on his name handwriting!  Minus the squiggly line at the front (where he messed up and got pretty upset), it's pretty good, I think!  :)

Have a fun weekend, friends! :)

A Seuss-tastic Celebration

Tomorrow, it will be Dr. Seuss' birthday or Read Across America Day! This was always one of my favorite days as a teacher!  Now that I'm home with my little one, I still like to celebrate it with him.  I'm starting to plan this year's Seuss-y Celebration as we speak!


I wanted to share last year's fun with you in case you need some ideas to do in your classroom or in you home...

Here's my table setting complete with my Cutesy Seussy food tags, and napkin rings. 

our "Who Bread" in the most seuss-y bowl I could find

 our pink lemonade called "Pink Ink Yink Drink"

our "Diffendoofer Peas"

...and the main course, our 'Seussical Spaghetti"

 Noah enjoying his "Green Egg" Jello

our dinner entertainment..."Green Eggs and Ham" read by Daddy

Of course, we had to make hats for the family.  Notice my hubby in his Sam I Am shirt (his name is Sam) and I've always loved that shirt! :)

Best of luck with all of your Seuss-y Soirees coming up tomorrow! ♡

Here's your freebie I promised! Hope your kids enjoy it as my kids did today. At first I was going to print this and use as a center, but I ended up printing it and paring up my buccaneers and had them sort them, I checked them, and they glued them. It was fun---I had to move them to the floor (which they enjoyed more). 

What Im Pinning Wednesdays

Just thinking about Dr Seuss week and thought I'd give y'all some inspiration if needed:

I'm looking forward to lots of crazy fun next week! Check back for a Dr Seuss FREEBIE coming up!! 

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

This is one of my favorite weeks of the school year!! I enjoy getting crazy with my firsties and I'm always searching for the newest "bestest" thing out there to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday!! So, in honor of his birthday on Tuesday, I am traveling around blogland to find some Dr. Seuss activities that you can use next week. I hope you find this helpful as you are planning your upcoming week.
