Wacky Wednesday!



Today was Wacky Wednesday in our classroom. We got to read this really fun book by Dr. Seuss! This is a great interactive story because there are lots of things to find that are wacky in the story. I scanned the story on to our Smart board so that the children could actually come up and find the wacky things and circle them.

There are lots of crazy things and the children had a great time looking at the pictures and trying to find things that were out of place. Lots of them are very silly such as a mouse chasing a cat, a palm tree in the toilet, and a house with no door and a tree growing out of the chimney! This activity was not only fun, but a great way for the children to work on their visual discrimination skills. Some of the things were obvious, like the table with a peppermint leg, but they had to look really hard to find some of the wacky things! They also had to use reasoning and critical thinking to figure out which things belonged and which didn't.

In honor of Wacky Wednesday we had our very own wacky Wednesday. The children got to dress up wacky tacky and they looked phenomenal! I really enjoyed getting to see all the crazy clothes and hairstyles today- this may be the best wacky tacky day we've ever had in Mrs. Tucker's class!

We're having a great time celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday, but all this fun is wearing us out!
