Today was Dr Suess’ birthday . Why oh why do I cave to peer pressure ? Why do I feel the need to go along with society and dive head first into things that do not mesh with my preschool family philosophy ? My oldie parents know that Dr. Suess books are not my […]
Dr Suess and Ducks
We started out the day with a Dr. Suess book since it is his birthday. Please don’t stone me but I may be the only preschool teacher in history that is not a fan of Dr. Suess for three and four year olds. The book I read today was over 60 pages. Do you know […]
Fox In Socks
This morning the kids came in with all barrels loaded for a good time. Good for them. Maybe.. not so good for us. There were many opportunities to practice conscious discipline before 9 am so we decided MAYBE… some outside time would be a great idea to get all the extra energy used up in […]
The Grinch and Green Day
I have some amazing friends that teach preschool. The wonderful thing about teaching preschool , especially in funded programs like mine, is there is no competition. For the most part we all help each other out . Last night on facebook a good friend of mine that has several sites including one in Gentry posted […]
Happy Birthday Dr. Suess
Can you believe we were out of school for snow AGAIN ? As a chlid in southern Arkansas I remember one time for sure that I remember it snowing. Maybe I remember it because it was Christmas and my parents were at a work party and my brother and I had a babysitter named Mary. […]

One Fish and Yertle
This fact that the kids were CRAZY today had nothing to do with the fact that Randy and I left at nap time. Really…. 🙂 No, serious. My nephew’s little baby girl was born 4 pounds 14 ounces and she didnt do so well during the night. I had already planned to leave after the […]
Wah Wah Wah Wacky Wednesday
The day started a little slow as I looked at my phone and saw how chilly it was this morning. I hadnt quite decided what I was going to wear for Wacky Wednesday but the moment I got out of bed, I just KNEW what I had to do. I made some pigtails ( which […]
The Foot Book
Left Foot Left Foot Left Foot Right. Today we read Dr.Suess ” The Foot Book ” and did some activities to go along with it. First we painted all our feet ( thats 32 feet ) and all our toes ( thats 160 toes ) and made foot prints on paper. Any teacher that […]

Today we kicked off Dr. Suess’ birthday celebration by having HAT DAY! The kids wore hats to school today. Some hats were silly and some were cool ! Of course we had extra hats in our room for the kids that didnt wear a special hat to school. I even had on a […]
