Dr Seuss Day

For the last week of home learning Kindergarten were listening to Dr Seuss stories and writing about the Cat In The Hat. To celebrate home learning and to finish it all off, the Kindy teachers suggested that the kids build a cubby to listen to Dr Seuss stories, enjoy some Dr Seuss themed morning tea and watch a Dr Seuss movie. Because we were learning a day behind in the lessons I decided that we'd do the set work from Thursday and then we would have a Dr Seuss afternoon. For snacks the kids would have Dr Seuss themed food. It was actually a bit of fun organising.

We made a big cubby in the loungeroom. Inbetween Daniel's work he got to listen to some stories in the cubby too.

The kids then had for crunch and sip Cat in the Hat skewers. Marshmellows with strawberry and banana hat stripes.

After a bit more work they got to enjoy green eggs (but no ham) biscuits. Such a simple idea. Digestive biscuits with white icing on top and a green m&m.

Eliza wanted me to wear bunny ears today (no clue why) so I did for fun (until it hurt my head).

Eliza and Alexander took over the kitchen floor to make a push and pull toy from craft and recycled materials.

While Daniel completed his last home writing task (much to his delight).

For lunch the kids had Green Eggs and Ham. Eliza and Alexander loved it, Daniel did not. It was scrambled eggs mixed with pesto on toast and then ham on the side.

And then they had dessert of Cat In the Hat parfait. (chopped strawberries and yoghurt layered).

 To finish off the day we had a little presentation afternoon. I had written each of the kids a report card based on their own home schooling experience and also bought them a book to enjoy.

The front cover of their report cards was set out like their school reports

Alexander got the book 'See You Later Alligator'. He loved it!

Eliza got Aladin

Daniel got a science book. He was more intersted in reading his report

Each kid sat down straight after and read their books and reports.

I was very proud of each of the efforts during their learning at home, of the work they produced, of their enthusiasm in different areas. They all have achieved so much and pushed through when times were hard.

To finish off the learning at home and Dr Seuss Day the kids and I then sat down to watch the Cat In The Hat together and they enjoyed some more green egg biscuits.

 The kids did enjoy the movie but the boys got a bit worried at times so ended up on my lap to watch the rest of the movie. I didn't complain about the extra cuddles :-)

It was also lovely to have James Tweet this about me. Thanks honey.
