March Madness

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow will be the first day of March.

We’ve got lots of fun activities coming up this month and we wanted to share a few things with you.

Thanks to so many great creators and sellers on TpT we are happy to announce that we are having our very first Dr. Seuss day . . . EVER . . . on Friday!!!  We know it’s probably hard for you to believe that we have NEVER done anything to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday until now . . . but it’s true.  We’ve got TONS of fun stuff planned for our kiddos on Friday.  We have even invited them to bring their favorite Dr. Seuss books from home. 

We wanted to start off the day the “Seuss” way so we made a little Word of the Day worksheet and poster to display.

Today we made these cute little lion art projects to decorate our classroom bulletin board.  We began by reading the book In Like A Lion Out Like A Lamb by Marion Dane Bauer.  We talked about what it means when the weather comes in like a lion  during the month of March and goes out like a lamb.  Then we did a writing project to go with it.

  

Here’s a folder cover that tells you exactly what you need for this art project along with tracers and writing paper.

For all of you who will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, here is a graphing center we always use.  Just laminate and cut out the shamrock cards and let your students sort them by color.  Then they can use their graph to record how many of each color they have and use them to solve some basic addition math problems.

Here is a worksheet you can use with any book during the month of March.  We usually pair it up with one of our St. Patrick’s Day listening centers.  After reading (or listening) to a story let your kiddos go on a sound hunt through the book.

If you are a Houghton Mifflin user here is a sight word game our kids always LOVE.  Just laminate the cards and use it during your guided reading time or let students play in small groups.
