“The feathers popped out! With a zang! With a zing!

They blossomed like flowers that bloom in the spring.

All fit for a queen! What a sight to behold!

They sparkled like diamonds and gumdrops and gold!

Like silk! Like spaghetti! Like satin! Like lace!

They burst out like rockets all over the place!

They waved in the air and they swished in the breeze!

And some were as long as the branches of trees!

And still they kept growing! They popped and they popped

Until, ‘long about sundown when, finally, they stopped.

-Gertrude McFuzz

Dr. Seuss Creations: Tizzled Topped Tufted Mazurkas

“ I’ll go to the African island of Yerka

And bring back a

tizzle-topped Tufted Mazurka

A kind of canary with quite a tall throat.

His neck is so long, if he swallows an oat

For breakfast the first day of April, they say

It has to go down such a very long way

That it gets to his stomach the fifteenth of May.”

-Dr. Seuss

If I Ran the Zoo

 

Truffula Trees

In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday and Reading month, first graders made some Truffula trees in Art class. Inspired by the book The Lorax, first graders drew, cut, and pasted these fun creations.
 

“It’s a Truffula seed,

It’s the last one of all!

You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.

And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.

Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.

Give it clean water and feed it fresh air.

Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.

Then the Lorax

and all of his friends

may come back.”

-Dr. Seuss

Whoville

Third graders have really enjoyed making "Whoville" in Art class. Each student has a long piece of paper to fill with Who houses and trees. We even made the grinch peeking over the town. This has been a great project to inspire the third graders during these long school days before break!
