Happy Birthday, Wacky Cat! & Our Week in Pics

Many of you have asked if I have a Dr. Seuss unit and the answer is NO because that violates copyright.  However, I do have a new unit called Happy Birthday, Wacky Cat that has silly math and literacy activities that align with the common core standards that would go GREAT with your Dr. Seuss unit.  You can check out the preview below and you can find it in my TPT by clicking HERE.  

Now on to our week in pics...  We have had a super busy SUGAR filled week in K.  Not only was this week Valentine's Day filled with LOTS of sweets we also had the SUPER COOL Jack Hartmann come to our Fine Arts Center for a concert.  It is always SO much fun and of course of kiddos think he is rockstar.  I have to admit even I get excited singing and dancing along with him.  Check out our week-end review of pics and our Be My Sweetheart centers.


We actually book Jack for 2 days and invite our neighboring school friends to join us.  If you are close by and have not got to check this out be sure to e-mail me at jmayas@albertk12.org and I will get you the info for next years show.  :)

    Thanks for the chance to win your Wacky Cat unit! I love Green Eggs and Ham because we follow it up by making green eggs and ham and the kids are surprised how much they like it.

    My favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham! I learned to read with Dr. Suess books growing up and can remember my mom making the green eggs. Therefore, I love making them for my kindergarten students and seeing there faces when they realize they like them! This unit looks awesome... Just like all of your awesome units!

    My favorite book is Put Me In the Zoo. I didn't own many books as a kid, but I did own this one. I made my parents read it over and over again.
    Now, I read it to my kinders.

    Hi, too many to pick just one. How about three/four? How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Green Eggs and Ham, and The Cat in the Hat. My all time favorite is one that I can't remember the name to. It's got a lot of dogs in cars, and a big tree. It breaks my heart that I cannot remember the title. vhair61215@gmail.com
