Cat Teachings....with hats

Today's Dr. Seuss teachings were about Cats. We started our month long learning about Cats...all kinds of cats.  We used this book as our starting point and jumped off from there....here is what we incorporated into our Cat In The Hat Comes Back teachings...


1st we Read the Book and talked about rhyming. (reading)


then got out our Cat Lapbook and talked all about cats and the different kinds of cats, characteristics




Preschool worksheets.....(writing and coloring)


Word search for my 1st grader (problem solving and reading)

Chapter 2 in our Lions at Lunchtime - He just loves this Magic Treehouse series and it goes
along with our cat theme! (reading & some geography)

Art time - Hats project....do you know whose hat this is? 
Practicing our cutting on the lines...(art)

Molly loves to cut!

Then we talked more about different kinds of cats, their geographic locations, why they have spots or stripes, why their teeth are like they are, which cats like water and which don't etc...kids love these!
(reading, science and geography)

Zachary reads a few paragraphs and then I read...they find the Fun Facts amazing...


Molly loves the pictures...even the ones of the cats eating other animals...



Also did a few pages in our Dr Seuss Workbook - rhyming page today...

Great Day with Cat in the Hat Comes Back...

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
