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?

Color Word Display

Seven years ago I moved into my current classroom and I brought with me the color word display from my former space and promptly slapped it on the wall.   It served many groups of children who happened to pass through my classroom on their way to second grade.   Despite being faded and fairly unattractive, it was what it was.

This year I had a moment of inspiration while out  shopping with a friend.   I found these "gingerbread" templates at our local school supply store and I used them to create these kids.  Each one is dressed in a specific color made from a combination of construction and scrapbook paper.  I added chalk for the rosy cheeks and googly eyes, too. 

Since you didn't get to see the old display you'll just have to take me at my word that this is considerably better!

 She's my favorite.  I think it's the shoes.

Lovely bangs, don't you think?

and finally...

This dude.  Seriously, I'm lovin' the socks and shoes.

Thanks for stopping by!
