Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss


Believe it or not, I've never read "Wacky Wednesday" by Dr. Seuss before this year, but it has quickly become a favorite! I love looking for all the "wacky" things in each picture. 
 I've created a powerpoint to project the book's pages onto our white board this Wednesday.  As we read the book together, the kids will use Expo Markers to circle the "wacky" things on the image projected on the board.  The powerpoint is created to circle the "wacky" things as it is clicked forward so we can see if they find all the weird things.

After we find all the wacky things, we'll design our own wacky page to create our own story.



Enjoy,

I love this idea! I was planning a Wacky Wednesday this week as well. I do not have a Smart Board (yet) and will try the Powerpoint idea on my whiteboard as well. Thanks for the great idea.

I'm planning on reading this tomorrow or Wednesday and will definitely use the sheet! Thanks!

Oh my word....what a terrific idea! I am always so jealous of those with a smartboard but I can do this! You are always thinking, Heidi!
