Movin' Into March for Literacy Week

With Valentine's Day behind us I'm in full planning mode for 

Dr. Seuss' birthday, March 2 and Read Across America Week! 

  I thought I'd share some of our fun from last year in case

 you're like me and still racking your brain 

for an idea! Honestly, my little friends loved this so much 

I may do it again this year....

And yes, we are HUMAN CANDLES! 

Oh, the squeals of joy!! 

I snapped a picture of each of my kiddos wearing a hat 

that I made  with a sentence strip and tissue paper twisted into 

a flame shape.I had to laugh at myself when it was all said 

and done because it would have been 

SO much easier to just glue a little yellow flame on their heads!

After a very funny discussion about all of the things Dr. Seuss

 has given us as readers as well as our fondest first memories 

of reading his books, we baked him a cupcake!

My kiddos then wrote about all of the things this author 

has given them as readers and thought of a gift they'd like 

to give him in return!

There are two versions of this writing craft,

 one being a foldable booklet that opens up.  

We did the page topper version for our hallway display.
