Our Trip to the Flynn Theatre!

Today we went to the Flynn Theatre to see a production of THE CAT IN THE HAT.  This was a perfect show for us to see as the children have been enjoying many of his books during quiet time and Readers Workshop.  On Monday we spent some partner reading time browsing through  Dr. Seuss books taking note of all the all the Super Reader Powers we use as we read them.  Turns out Dr. Seuss books are great for practicing pointer power, picture power, pattern power, rhyme power. popcorn word power and partner power!  We also noted that a few other authors who write in a style similar to Dr. Seuss have a picture of the cat in the hat on their books too.  

In the words of the kindergartners:

"The show was good!"

"I like how the music went right with the cat's tennis racket."

"The cat was funny when he balanced all that stuff!"
