Handbook at the following link! As the Spanish teacher, I am delighted to see how excited your children are to learn. They will open their “ojos y orejas” to see and hear the Spanish language this semester as we learn to identify the parts of the body. At the same time, we will be weaving in the color words and numbers to broaden their vocabulary. I will also throw in an art lesson or two as they draw a self-portrait to help them remember each unique and special part of their faces/body.

Ms. T Long-Term FLES Teacher Average Daily Attendance Pre-K 94.61% Kindergarten 94.03% 1ST Grade 94.51% 2nd Grade 96.03% Grand Total 94.8% We have introduced our "Bubble Gum Math Program" in 2nd math grade classes. Students are given a math fact quiz focusing on a specific addend such as +0, +1, +2, etc. They are given a set time to complete their quiz. They earn sticker gumballs each time they successfully complete their math fact quiz for their Gumball Machine Board. Students, who do not pass their quiz, will retake the same quiz until the facts are completed successfully. Should students have difficulty after taking a quiz, it is strongly suggested that they spend some time reviewing addition flash cards or math fact websites at home. Each student is working at their own level and pace.* It cannot be stressed enough the importance of having "Fact Power" and memorizing the math facts!! Using flash cards, math facts apps, and websites at home, is a great way to commit those facts to memory. Please continue to encourage your child and ask for updates on how they are doing on their Bubble Gum Math! February 22, 2016 Dear Parents, We will celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ birthday the week of February 29 (Leap Year!) - March 4. On Wednesday, March 2 we will sing Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss on the morning show. Watch for the wonderful “birthday cake” our PTO made! They will be distributing a special little gift to commemorate Dr. Seuss’ birthday to all children. Dr. Seuss Bookmarks will be given to each student when they come to the library with their class. We will also have a special treat for all the classes. At 9:30, a group the Single Marines and Sailors, will come and read a Dr. Seuss book to each class. What fun! Each day one of Dr. Seuss’ books will be featured along with planned activities (please see the schedule below.) We hope all children will participate in the fun. Weekly activities: • Students will vote on their favorite Dr. Seuss book during library classes.

  • Fun Facts About Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’S Real Name Was Theodor Seuss Geisel but His Friends and Family Called Him ‘Ted’
    Fun Facts about Dr. Seuss • Dr Seuss’s real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel but his friends and family called him ‘Ted’. • Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. • Ted worked as a cartoonist and then in advertising in the 1930s and 1940s but started contributing weekly political cartoons to a magazine called PM as the war approached. • The first book that was both written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. The book was rejected 27 times before being published in 1937. • The Cat in the Hat was written as a result of a 1954 report published in Life magazine about illiteracy among school children. A text-book editor at a publishing company was concerned about the report and commissioned Ted to write a book which would appeal to children learning to read, using only 250 words given to him by the editor. • Ted was fascinated by research into how babies develop in the womb and whether they can hear and respond to the voices of their parents. He was delighted to find that The Cat in the Hat had been chosen by researchers to be read by parents to their babies while the babies were still in utero . • Writing as Dr Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 children's books. and These books have been translated into more than 15 languages and have sold over 200 million copies around the world.

  • Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr
    Hey Kids, Meet Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) American Cartoonist (1922-2000) Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert Geisel, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often put Ted and his sister Marnie to sleep with rhymes she remembered from her childhood. It was his mother that Ted credits for his ability to create rhymes. Ted's memories of his youth in Springfield can be seen throughout his books. Illustrations of Horton along streams in the Jungle of Nool recall the watercourses in Springfield's Forest Park while the truck driven by Sylvester McMonkey McBean in The Sneetches may very well be the tractor that Ted saw on the streets of his hometown. In the fall of 1921 Ted left Springfield to attend Dartmouth College. While there he became editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth College's Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. Each contribution was signed "Seuss". It was the first time we would use his middle name to identify his work. In an attempt to please his father, Ted went on to Oxford University in England after graduating from Darmouth. While at Oxford he met his wife Helen Palmer. He also discovered that academic studies bored him so he left the university and traveled Europe instead. When Geisel returned to the United States he began to pursue a career as a cartoonist. The Saturday Evening Post published a few of his early cartoons but most of his efforts were devoted to creating advertising campaigns for Standard Oil.

  • Grappling with Seuss by Rev. Michelle Collins, Delivered March 2, 2014 (Dr
    Grappling with Seuss by Rev. Michelle Collins, delivered March 2, 2014 (Dr. Seuss’s 110th birthday) When How the Grinch Stole Christmas was published, it only had two colors, red and green. Art director Cathy Goldsmith was assigned the job of creating a four-color version of illustrations from the book for a puzzle. This project ended up having an unexpected twist in it. When she first sent Geisel her sketch, he called her right back with a problem. “You know what’s wrong? You need some color in the snow.” “What do you mean? Snow is white!” “No,” he says. “Look here, it’s too white. You need a little color so it doesn’t blind you.” He grabbed his color chart and gave her a number for pale mint green for her snow. Green snow! What was he thinking?!? But she went with it, and put green snow into the puzzle picture. And the crazy thing is, it worked. The other colors in the picture dominated and the pale green snow was a soft snow-white.1 Only Dr. Seuss could make green snow that works as snow! Today our celebration of Dr. Seuss in our service is in honor of today’s being his 110th birthday. Theodor Geisel went by the pen name Dr. Seuss for most of his children’s books, and occasionally Theo LeSieg for books that he wrote but others illustrated. He wrote 46 books as Dr. Seuss over the course of his life. Now while we love to “claim” people as UU’s, Dr.

  • Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum Lesson Plans
    What’s it all about? A visit to an art museum entirely dedicated to horses invites readers to think about how artists share their ideas with us, and how the art they make is shaped by their experiences. While focused on visual art, Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum offers a perfect springboard to explore language arts and history at the same time. An energetic and knowledgeable horse tour guide (yes, a horse!) shepherds young visitors through a museum featuring reproductions of real paintings, sculptures, and textiles. Our equine guide asks the kids to not just look at the art, but also to think about the artist and what they thought, felt, and wanted to tell us when creating their piece. He invites the museum visitors and readers to Look, Think, and Talk. Explore point of view, meaning, artistic expression, and interpretation with Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum. Note to teachers: Most of the ideas here are adaptable to different age groups, so read through the activities for all ages. You can adapt activities based on your needs or interests. You’ll find lots of interesting ideas. Text TM & copyright © by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. 2019. Illustrations copyright © 2019 by Andrew Joyner Seuss Enterprises, L.P. TM & copyright © by Dr. Text A never-before- published book about creating and looking at art! Based on a manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013, this book is like a visit to a museum—with a horse as your guide!
