Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Dr. Seuss’ books have been a favorite for so many of us for years. It was very nice to share with the preschoolers some of his writings and to discuss the words he chose. This week, we all worked on recognizing and identifying ending sounds of words and rhyming! We had a lot of fun practicing cutting skills and patterns when we made our red and white hats. Everyone thought that painting our feet to make foot prints, in honor of The Foot Book, was so silly and giggles could be heard in the hallways! We also learned never to play with people who call themselves Thing 1 and Thing 2! Letting strangers in to play when Mom is away, is NOT a good idea, nor safe. Although, we did enjoy making our own Thing 1 and Thing 2 using blue feathers as hair. Color identification and counting was made fun by using rainbow goldfish and adding them to our fish bowl cut outs! Everyone had so much fun this week and in celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, we enjoyed a small snack and a movie, Horton Hears a Who. Nothing says Happy Birthday like brownies! Speaking of birthdays, Happy Birthday to Katie and Karlee who will be turning 4 on Saturday!!!!!

So many wonderful things happen in the month of March. We are all looking forward to spring and discussed how March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. We can’t wait to see what that crazy leprechaun will do to our room this St. Patrick’s Day! The weather is starting to warm up which means that soon we will be able to enjoy the playground again!

I hope you all enjoy your weekend. This is just a gentle reminder that our class is collecting donations for our Tricky-Tray classroom basket. Our theme is coffee and our classroom basket coordinator is Mrs. Parks. Please send in donations with your child and I will be sure to give them to Mrs. Parks. Thank you again for all the tissue, wipes and hand sanitizer supplies. It’s helping us to keep germ levels low and everyone smiling! We really do appreciate it!
