Mrs. Britten taught us the front float, back float, freestyle and backstroke. Those children who wanted to, could go off the diving board in the deep end. We learned a lot!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

In celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday, we had centers dealing with books Dr. Seuss has written. We had a Reading center, made 'Cat in the Hat' hats to wear for the rest of the day, and played a graphing game using several of his books. We graphed them after we pulled them out of a 'Cat in the Hat' bag. We read along with books on the internet, and played a strategy game with dice and striped 'Cat in the Hat' hats. We will continue doing Dr. Seuss activities. We will be doing many activities involving rhyming words. What a fun day!
