Seussed Up or Seussed Out?

We're three days into our Dr. Seuss celebration and I must say, it's been fun.
We've enjoyed a flexible schedule and created an art project or two.

However... today was off the charts.
 Seriously... we took a  wrong turn just prior to 7:45 this morning. 
Here I thought we were going to have your basic Read Across America kind of day.
Apparently, it's not that simple.  
Someone decided a Dr. Seuss cake in the lunchroom would not be sufficient.
Oh, no!  
Let's step it up a notch!
Let's toss in...
one announcement that we would practice our fire/tornado drills,
a crazy sock wearing day in support of Dr. Seuss,
the arrival of our Dr. Seuss hats/shirts,
pictures being made,
guest readers,
important post tests,
one book fair in the library,
and music class.
Will Friday actually arrive on schedule this week?
Or is someone playing a mean joke on me?

In any case,  here are two more door decorations for your files.
The one on the left is my own.  
(Several years ago, I submitted this idea to a well-known teachers' magazine and 
it was actually accepted for publication!  
The Lorax door was created by one of the K teachers on my hallway.  
I adore this door!

So... how is your week progressing?
Do you look forward to special occasions at school or do you appreciate the "regular schedule" more?

"Seuss"ing It Up!

This week we're celebrating all things related to Dr. Seuss 
(along with a few end-of-the-grading period tests). 
After all, it IS school and we gotta keep it real.

In any case, the door decorating contest is in full swing, especially since our lovely PTO ladies have agreed to award the top 3 doors with cash prizes.  
This competition is always incredibly tough so you must be prepared to be the most creative.

Here are a few entries from my hallway...
I think they're all simply beautiful!  
It's a blessing to work with such talented teachers.

Later this week we'll have guest readers and birthday cake served at lunch and those are just a FEW of the activities we'll enjoy.
How does your school celebrate?
