Today was the last day of celebrating Dr. Seuss and his amazing work. To finish up the week, the class tried “green eggs and ham” and to cook this meal, volunteers were needed so Brienna (Anika’s mom) and myself pitched in to help. Enjoy!
After arriving in the classroom, Brienna and I got straight to work on cooking up the green eggs and ham. Since Dany was the one to bring extra eggs, Mrs. W let him help me stir (for a little bit). Thanks for the help Dany!
In honor of Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs and Ham. I tried some of the eggs (from Isabel) but the ham just looked disgusting!
Reading the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss before heading to the tables to try it. Mrs. W asked for all the kids to try the green eggs and ham. Most of the kids did and seemed to like it. However their were a few that wouldn’t even touch it!
Makayla, Anika, Isabella, and Isabel all tried the green eggs and ham and like it. I do know that Isabel ate all of her’s and really enjoyed it.
Mila, Ja’Siah, Zachary, Rebecca, and Payton all seem to have mixed reactions to green eggs and ham. (Heidi from the office is taking pictures too!)
Olivia, Eden, Dany, Lilliana, and Ezzra enjoying green eggs and ham.
Rebecca wouldn’t have anything to do with her green eggs and ham and gave them to Zachary to eat.
Isabel enjoyed her green eggs and ham. “They were yum.” she said.
Waiting in the hall after recess for other’s to finish up in the bathroom.
After recess and snack time, the class made windsocks.
Focusing on drawing and making awesome windsocks.
They wrote their own names on them and then could draw their own picture on it.
Special helper Emily and special helper friend Addie working together.
After coloring their windsocks the kids would bring them over to Brienna and I and we added the streamers, made them into the cylinder shape, and added yarn to hang it.
After they were finished with their windsock they began making their letter “S“.

Today’s special helper was Emily. For show and tell, she brought her favorite stuffed dog, Pinky. For snack Emily brought to share granola bars and juice.
After class was over and parents arrived, I felt this little tap and looked down to see Makayla smiling up at me. She said,”Can we get a picture?” Of course!
The letter S is for snake, Seuss, and sun. I thought it was awesome that S was the letter for this week in celebrating Dr. Seuss!
Isabel’s completed windsock. She drew a picture of Daisy bouncing a ball and an umbrella. She decided that she wanted it hung in her bedroom. So it’s hanging in there.
After class, I volunteered to help with the p.m. preschool class as well (that’s a lot of work to cook up green eggs and ham). So I ran home, dropped Isabel off, cleaned up the skillet (that we used to cook the green eggs in), ate some lunch, and then headed back for more fun with the p.m. class.
I have got so say, Mrs. W and Mrs. Calvert were right about one thing; the classes are totally different in the way the kids act! The p.m. class size is a lot smaller then the a.m. class, there were only 13 kids today in class and several of the kids were out. Mrs. Calvert told me that the class is always missing someone and they never have a full class. Also, no one hardly volunteers (parents) with the class. Mrs. W told me that she thinks all the parents work and are unable to volunteer. Could be the case. There were more spills, more “quiet” please, more “inside voices” please, and more “keep your hands to yourself”. All in all though the kids are great and play nicely together during recess and free play.
Unlike the a.m. class however, only about half of the p.m. class would even try the green eggs and ham (which might have to do with the fact that they had a big lunch before coming to class). The few that did, enjoyed it and walked away with green teeth! So fun! I stayed for the remainder of the class, which was a surprise (and I think relief) to Mrs. W and Mrs. Calvert. They greatly appreciated all the help I gave them and I really enjoyed it. However it made for a very long day and I was worn out when I got back home so I laid down and took a nap before dinner with Daisy.
