Dr. Seuss Freebie!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” 

Dr. Suess week is a favorite of mine. And one of my favorite activities to do with my kindergarten nuggets making and experimenting with oobleck! I love it! My co-teacher hates it!  {last year she spilled it all over herself so she's no longer an oobleck fan! ha} But in all seriousness, I feel whenever I can tie in kinistetic learning, it sticks with the kids a lot longer. I remember last year when I did our oobleck experiment, I got an email from a mom that weekend saying that her daughter and her had had so much fun making oobleck at home in all sorts of different colors (how cool!!!)! PLUS: it hits so many common core standards!
