My Project

Dr. Seuss month is fast approaching and my students are really excited.

I want to make our Dr. Seuss week special by starting the Monday with fringes on our door so when they enter, they are going through a curtain of blue and red.

We will take pictures with the backdrop for their memory book. The cardstock will be used to make a Dr. Seuss hat template so students can wear it throughout the day. The tshirt will be given to the student with the most ClassDojo points based on attendance, kindness, and work turned in.

Last, I also want to pass out pencils as students write about their favorite Dr. Seuss book!
