Mixing STEM & Dr. Seuss: A Powerful Combination For Learning

main image

Every March, schools across the country celebrate Read Across America Day. This year, in addition to literacy projects, our 1st graders were inspired to try a Dr. Seuss science project for the perfect combination of hands on learning! The STEM challenge was to create a new hat for cat in the hat. They were allowed to use paper, string, tape, glue and scissors. The hat had to be at least 8 inches tall, have at least 2 shapes and fit his/her head. 1st Grade Teacher Mrs. Shockley said, "The students had SO much fun! It was wonderful to hear their conversations!"

main image

Our first graders recently celebrated Read Across America Day, which is also the birthday of Dr. Seuss.  They dressed up as their favorite Dr. Seuss characters - One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Some of the students also dressed up as the Grinch, the Lorax, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Cindy Lou Who, and Cat in the Hat. The children did Dr. Seuss activities all day by practicing our rhyming words and by using our comprehension tools to read his books. We had a great day celebrating a great author!
