Pin It Dr. Seuss is Back! And so is my favorite story... Daisy Head Mayzie.  I love this story because it tells the story of a little girl who is given a second chance. LOVE conquers all. Tomorrow I will dress as Daisy Head Mayzie again and we will work on these common core standards:
3. Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.

Corresponding College and Career Readiness (CCR) Anchor Standard

3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

I have made some discussion cards and a letter writing activity:

Fishy 100 Days of School

Pin It I had the BEST 100 Days of School with my kiddos!

I had a fish theme going on in the classroom. At the beginning of the week, the students brainstormed compliments and wrote them on this worksheet.  or 100 Compliments (1) or 100 Compliments (2)

On the 100th Day I posted them on the wall outside our classroom:

Fishing for Compliments Sign: 

Fishing For Compliments Sign

My Shirt:

My Door- I used bubble wrap for streamers.

They watched the small segment about Nemo's first day of school. I made this worksheet with a Nemo theme.  Nemo Movie Clip

1 to 100 Days in School Fish Bowls

They traced fish and put 100 dots or scales on their fish.  Then they popped 100 bubbles.  I thought I was going to pass out after blowing bubbles for 35 minutes straight!  It was well worth the smiles on their faces!

Some of the art work out to dry:

Pin It of the What if Monster came to visit our school today.

She told us to never give up on our dreams and to do something that we love.  Time to start working on my books again.  I have her contact information and I can't wait to get some more great advice.
