Green Eggs and Ham was a success today!!  We found out 11 of our students "like" green eggs and ham and only 4 "did not" like it!!  See pictures below of our day!! :)

                            Green eggs and Ham!!  Ask your children what 2 colors you can mix to get green!!!

                                       We are getting ready to sample Green Eggs and Ham!!!                                         Will we like them here or there???????

                                                            Ready, set , eat!!!!!

                                               Test tasting the Green Eggs and Ham!!!!

                           Chantel is being encouraged to taste the eggs by the kindergarten students! :)                             They finally talked her into it!!!  "Try it, try it, and you may I say!!!!"

                                               Test tasting our Green Eggs and Ham!!!

                                            We are tasing our Green Eggs and Ham!!!

                                           We LIKE Green Eggs and Ham!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!!

                                           We DO NOT LIKE Green Eggs and Ham!! I think they
                                           are "hamming up" the ugly faces a little bit!!!!

                 We are recording some of the sight words in Green Eggs and Ham.  The students
                  loved using the "stars" on the Smartboard to do the recording!

                                          We are recording on the Smartboard a few sight words from
                                          Green Eggs and Ham!!  The word "I" had the most!!

                                              These are a few of the sight words we found in                                               Green Eggs and Ham!!!  We love using the stars
                                              on the Smartboard!

In celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday on Friday, March 2nd.  We are going to be reading and doing Dr. Seuss activities this week.  We read the "Cat in the Hat" today and worked on putting -at family words in A-B-C order!!  Your little ones did great!  Have them explain to you how to put words in A-B-C order at home. 

Tomorrow we will find out "Do you like green eggs and ham?"  :)

The Spring Book Fair is coming!! It will be open for parents and students on Friday, March 9th through Tuesday, March 20th.  Ms. Chester is looking for a few volunteers to help out.  If interested, please return the form coming home today.  Our class will have a preview day on Friday, March 9th.
