A Seusstastic Day: A Full Day Of Dr.Seuss Fun For Your Class

It's March, and that means that Dr. Seuss fever is hitting elementary schools everywhere! We had pajama day/read-a-thon day last week, and on fun days like this we do what I call "Tasks and Teams." I make a Google Slide presentation and share it with them on Seesaw. You can get the presentation here. They love snack mix, so on special days like this we always make a fun new snack mix as a reward. I looked around the web and Pinterest for a fun mix, but I couldn't find one I liked. I took pieces from a few, and threw in a couple of my own, and "Seuss Snack" was born. Every piece of the snack mix goes along with one of the six Dr. Seuss books we read throughout the day.

We started with the ever so funny "Hop on Pop," which was my favorite Seuss as a child. To earn each piece of their snack the class had to read the book and do an activity connected to it in teams. The task for "Hop on Pop" was to create at least 15 words from the letters on the front cover of the book. I made the templates below using PicKids and they used the copy and edit tool to add their words.

For this book they earned "Hop on Popcorn."

Another book was "The Lorax" and they had to list five ways they would heal the world.

This one earned them Truffla seeds AKA mini fruit marshmallows.

They also read "If I Ran the Zoo," and completed a Mad Libs version of the story that I created. You can get it here.

This one earned everyone yummy animal crackers (the good Barnum kind, not the fake ones).

Their favorite part of the snack was Horton Eggs (AKA Cadbury Mini Eggs), and they completed this worksheet. I found it on the copy machine lol, but you can find it on this page. They used copy and edit in Seesaw here too.


They needed a little pre snack, snack at one point so we graphed with goldfish after reading "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish."

We read "Oh the Places You'll Go" and filled out this worksheet that I found here.


They also made cute Dr. Seuss hats with rhyming words, and read a biography of Dr. Seuss to learn fun facts about him.

Tasks and teams are their favorite days. They always say those are the days where you learn and don't know it because you're having so much fun! Love it!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
