Green Eggs and Ham

Thursday, we enjoyed activities surrounding the story Green Eggs and Ham. The kids dressed in green. We had a team challenge for rhyming. The kids did a rewrite of the book Green Eggs and Ham. Thanks to our wonderful classroom volunteers, we ate green eggs and ham and had the cutest green eggs and ham candy. And, I can't forget to tell you...we had a guest reader: TIM TEBOW!

Fox in Socks

Wednesday was Fox in Socks day. Students wore their craziest socks. I can't wait for the next crazy sock day...I LOVE the idea of pinning socks to your shirt or the inside of your jacket. Now that is CRAZY!

Dr. Seuss warns that the book Fox in Socks is dangerous for your tongue. It didn't scare the Cooperative Combo kids from reading a few pages. Watch out for tongue twisters!

A Wocket In My Pocket

Tuesday was "Wocket in my Pocket day. The kids were challenged to wear as many pockets as they could. I was amazed with how many pockets came to school. One student had 14 pockets. Another clever guy brought wockets in each of his eight pockets. We made a class graph and analyzed our pocket data. One of the interesting points that the students noticed was that most pocket numbers were in even numbers.

Here is a student book review for Wocket in My Pocket.

Dr. Seuss Week

We are having fun with Dr. Seuss this week. In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, March 2, this week is Read Across America. The Cooperative Combo is putting our own twist on the special week. Everyday this week we have a special activity to celebrate reading and Dr. Seuss.
Since we will be reading lots of Dr. Seuss, I could use some help. I would love to collect as many books as possible to use this week. If you have some at home, could we please borrow them for the week? Make sure your child's name is in the book. Send books into class this week. We will read and share them, then return your books on Friday.
Today we read The Sneeches. A great story with a great lesson. Here is the youtube video.


There is much more Dr. Seuss fun to come. Check out the schedule for the rest of our week:

Tuesday ~ Wocket in My Pocket~ Students wear as many pockets as they can.

Students may bring a pop or juice to school to drink with popcorn.

Poetry Cafe Replay

Poetry Cafe

Poetry Cafe was a smashing success. Our classroom was not a classroom last Wednesday. Instead, it was a hip, quaint cafe where budding young poets could share their latest work. We heard new poetry from our up and coming Combo poets, as well as, shared published poems from famous authors. Some poems were beautiful and touching, others were just plain funny. The hot chocolate and treats were delicious, but the best part was sharing poetry with the people we love most. Thank you all for your support. Enjoy some pics from the day!
