On Dr. Seuss's Birthday, we had to do the traditional activity... make green eggs and ham!!!
Mrs. Roberson came in and read the students a Dr. Seuss story to kick off our afternoon. After the story, we broke into 4 groups and completed different stations.
One was to make and eat green eggs and ham!
Second was to rate the taste and quality of the green eggs and ham. Yum or Yuck!
Third was to make a silly character just like Dr. Seuss did. The students thought of 2 different animals and smashed them together to make one silly animal. The example I gave them was a rabbit and a duck equals a dabbit.
Fourth was a task where they colored green eggs and ham onto a photo where they are holding an empty paper plate. They had to complete the phrase "I would not eat them with a ________".
I know they really enjoyed this afternoon. They talked about it for awhile afterward. They also want to continue making food items until the end of the school year. I told them that we could definitely do that! I am going to look into some easy recipes for food that they could make in the classroom. Since our school has an oven, we can bake items too.
