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

We started with the ever so funny "Hop on Pop," which was my favorite Seuss as a child.

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

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
