It was an exciting time at our school this week when children's book author, Blake Ross, came for a visit and talked with students about the process of writing and illustrating books. On display were many of his sketches and paintings. There was a question and answer time at the end, as well as, book signings. Everyone was very excited to get to talk with a professional author!
We love to practice math with our friends! This game reinforced the "doubles" math facts. 
A big "thank you" to Kathy at First Grade a la carte for this "cover-up" game.
We began celebrating all things Dr. Seuss with this little activity. First, we read the infamous "Cat in the Hat" book and brainstormed adjectives that could be used to describe the main character. Then, students chose a different word to write on each section of the accordion folded "body" of the cat. 
Another fun activity this week involved making words from scrambled letters. It is always so amazing to see how fast my kiddos can come up with words and fun to watch as they turn everything into a "competition" with their peers.
Stayed tuned for more Dr. Seuss activities next week!
