Plan A Dr. Seuss Week With Me!

Are you planning on celebrating National Read Across America Day on March 2nd? Your children's teachers may have some activities planned, but if they aren't in school, it likely isn't the same. I remember walking into my oldest's TK classroom on Wacky Wednesday. That was craziness! Shoes on the wall, upside down clocks, things hanging down from the ceilings. I also recall D2 running out of preschool proclaiming he tried Green Eggs and Ham! So, I'm not going to let the week pass by without all the extras for my littles. I already decorated our school areas with Dr. Seuss posters and cutouts. I bought mine from Oriental Trading, but it may be too late to order from there. Amazon to the rescue! https://amzn.to/2ZHqNGA

At the same time...it's still a busy week with school and work, plus I have a toddler running around. So, nothing is going to be very complicated or expensive. If you want to join me, here is the schedule I'm following. Each day, I have a dress up, treat and craft/art component. Pick and choose what you like. (If my children's school has other plans they may dress differently, but either way my other plans will remain the same.) I've included a list of materials needed for the crafts and treats if you need to get anything. You may have many of these materials on hand. Additionally, there are links to purchase any of the books you don't have, but if that isn't in the budget, I will be posting YouTube storytimes I have seen of these books.

I will also be posting detailed instructions for each day very soon so make sure to subscribe if you want all the details!
