Thing 1 and Thing 2 Hunt

I made these cute Thing 1 and Thing 2 clips today and had to share.  They are just clothes pins that I colored with permanent marker and hot glued on some blue boa.  I had my class go into the hall and I hid these two in plane sight.  Let the kids come back in to find them.  The two that found my "things" got to hide them next.  I had them sit out.  Repeated this process until everyone had found a "thing" and hid them.  Last two hid them and the whole class searched.

I also plan to use these guys all of next month since our theme is Dr. Seuss.  Going to hide them every morning in my room.

Oh the Places You'll Go

I saw these Tall Paintings on Pinterest from GummyLump.com and thought of Dr. Seuss’ “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” We did the Tall Paintings, which consist of a half of an large plastic egg glued to a plate and then a mixture of paint and glue poured on top. Then we added the kids pictures with a craft stick and some model magic.

I LOVE how they turned out!

MWF Open House

This year's WLC Open House theme was Dr. Seuss. Here is a picture of all the 4s teachers dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2. Below is a poem and pictures from the evernt. Ms. Michelle wrote the cutest poem to direct the parents around the room. Some of the items were things we did in the past and a few new ones we found on Pinterest!WELCOME to WHO-Ville!
How do you do??…
Let your little Star
Show you what all they can do….

First, Thing One and Thing Two are all over the place!!
Can you guess what makes up their body and face?
Ten Apples! Ten Apples!
All up on top!
I had to make them and count them
Before they all DROPPED!

I’ve heard there are great Places
I will go here and there….
I’ve made my own balloon
That will float through the air
Green eggs??!
Can you Imagine that??
Now look a little closer…
You can’t eat that??!!

A lot of counting, mazes, and patterns to do
Games with my friends while learning some too!
One Fish, Two Fish,
It doesn’t really matter
Especially when we get to eat them
Our tummies get fatter!

Now to the iPad
You can see all we do
All of my friends and I
Are playing and learning stuff too!

Finally, My Journal
A book of my own
I started it the first day
Can you see how I’ve grown?

Thanks for visiting My WHO-Ville,
I hope you had fun!
This is my special class
Where my learning journey has just begun!

We had a GREAT turn out and everyone LOVED the shirts we made with the bleach pens.

Dr. Seuss Shirts

Look at the Dr. Seuss Shirts we made for WLC's Open House.

To make you will need a shirt, bleach pen and stencile.

We cut the stencils and laminated them. Had the kids trace around the edge with the fine point of the bleach pen.

The lay the second stencil over and have the kids fill in the stripes with the brush end of the bleach pen.

This is what is should look like. Let sit until you achieve your desired color and then rinse off the bleach. I took them home and put them in the washer.

One of our other classes made a Jolly Rodger for their pirate theme too! The kids LOVED these too...especially the boys!

I was worried about doing the bleach, but if you work with one kid at a time it works well. Can't wait to do Shark shirts for this summers Ocean theme.
