Learning with Dr. Seuss

Through books, discussions and silliness, the preschool 4’s classroom had lots of fun learning with Dr. Seuss’s stories.  They realized how lucky we are to have just rain and snow coming down from the sky after reading “Bartholomew and the Oobleck”.  The children then enjoyed exploring oobleck, which seems to act as both a solid and a liquid depending on the pressure exerted on it.  Everyone knows that nourishment is important for learning, so after reading “Green Eggs and Ham”, we made our own green eggs and ham for a snack.   The children worked on their rhyming skills using a matching game after reading “The Cat in the Hat”.  We also practiced our balancing skills by stacking items and then trying to walk across the room without the items falling.  After reading “The Foot Book” we enjoyed painting our feet and making colorful footprints.  Children strengthened their math skills by measuring the length of their feet using unifix cubes and voting for and graphing their favorite Dr. Seuss story.
