Diffendoofer Day! (and a freebie)

We had so much fun!

 I can't tell you how many books we read.

We were suppose to have a "Mystery Reader" come in but his daughter was ill so I was the "Mystery Reader". I think that was the only let down of the day.

Look at all the great socks!

I got this idea from Mel!

AMAZING!

We sorted goldfish.

We used great activity sheets from LeAnne.

The Cat in the Hat Hundreds Chart from Marlana.

Oh Yes! My whole outfit. My daughters dressed me up!

Look at the little "THINGS"! This is from our morning message.

We both want to be Miss Bonkers!

I posted this on my TPT store. 

Making Words with DIFFENDOOFER DAY!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!

I am so excited for today. We are going to have a Diffendooffer Day!

Cheryl, at Primary Graffiti, had this AMAZING idea to have a Diffendoofer Day. 

My kids LOVE this book.

 I am so drawn to it now that things are going the way they are with tests and schools and such...well, anyway back to Diffendoofer Day!

We are all going to dress up like a student would who attended Diffendoofer School. I will definitely be posting pictures later. 

We are also celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday, of course!

I found some awesome ideas on Pinterest.

It was so much fun to open the fridge this morning and find all the FISH!

I hope you all have a Diffendoofer sort of day!

What a week!

We had our mid-winter break last week.

I planned on finishing up a few units, Posting>Posting>Posting, catching up on blogs, and cleaning my house. Well, none of that got done. I went to visit my mom, dad, and grandma with the kids in the beginning of the week and came back to pack for my brother-in-law's wedding. 

We drove 8 hours to get there. It was beautiful. It was in a ski lodge, half-way up the hill. It was just perfect for them (they met on this very hill). Did I mention that I was the photographer? Holy Cow what a responsibility!

Anyway, needless to say, I was more busy this week than anticipated. So, now I have to catch up with everyone and get my act together on those units. Oh, and I have to go back to work today! :)

I am excited to go back to school. This is my favorite time of the year. Spring Jitters, excitement everyday about the weather, MUD...Well, some of it is my favorite!

I am so psyched to do some of the activities this week from all of you. I will post as I go along.

These are some of the blogs I got some AMAZING activities to do this week.

Dr. Seuss's Birthday

My colleague Linda and I celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday last Wednesday. We had so much fun. Our classes got together and paired up second graders and first graders. We had some stations, but for themost part they could work on their own. AND THEY DID! I can't imagine how much fun they had because Linda and I had a blast. The kids worked for almost two hours.

We downloaded this FANTASTIC unit from Rachelle Smith's whattheteacherwantsblogspot.com I highly recommend visiting her site.
They played with Oobleck, worked on goldfish patterns and graphs, made up some "new" animals, and so much more.We are planning on getting together at least once a month. It is hard to make time for fun learning. That is one of our goals this year.

"If you never did You should. These things are fun. and Fun is good."
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
