    Dr. Suess
    By Shelley

    Clip to ScrapBook
       
    Dr. Suess's b-day is March 2.
    -You could do a birthday board.
    -You could do: "Oh the places you'll go" and the kids could write about exotic places, real or made up.
    -"Horton Hears a Who" or "the Lorax" and talk about ecology and how we all affect one another.
    -With "to think that I saw it on Mulberry street" after reading the book you could discuss all the things the boy saw, how he could have used his imagination to transform ordinary things into the extraordinary things he talks about. Put a "street" on the board and let your kids create fantastic things to go on or beside it. Have them write descriptive paragraphs about what they saw.
    -Model your board on "If I ran the circus" and the circus parade. Each student creates their own float or car for the circus parade. They write about it and draw and cut out their's. (We did this for Mardi Gras and it was precious!)
    -Read "the cat's quizzer." Make your board interactive with windows observers can open. Have your students look up trivial, obscure and funny facts. Write the question on the door and put the answer inside, written in rhyme, of course!
