I love Dr. Seuss! I think he was so imaginative and his books are one of a kind. So, to celebrate his birthday on March 2nd, I will be posting a Dr. Seuss activity on my blog every day through next week. I posted a Dr. Seuss Unit in an earlier post if you’re interested. You will have to scroll down a bit to find it.
So, to start off…we have a project for Horton Hears a Who. This is such a cute book with a good message about how everyone is important. 1st graders relate well to the message of “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” After reading the book, students will think about what they would say to Horton if they were a Who. Have students write in the speech bubble.
Next, students will follow the directions to make a Horton. Each student will need a large gray circle for the body, 3 smaller gray circles for the head and ears, 2 small pink circles for the inside of the ears, 2 gray rectangles for the legs, and a gray J shape for the trunk.
Students will glue the pieces together, draw the eyes, and add the flower for the Who. Use a strip of brown paper and a pink pom pom to make the flower. {You will probably need hot glue to get the pom pom to stay.}
Love this!!! Dang, my Student Teacher has her plans finished already! I will save it for next year.
This is so cute!! Thanks for sharing!!
