Dr Seuss Bulletin Board Views

• General Goods

Choose March as your month for a Dr. Seuss theme to coincide with his birthday; children appreciate the connection and enjoy participating in Seuss-themed activities all month long. Attach the dust jackets of your favorite Dr. Seuss books to your bulletin board or find Dr. Seuss bulletin board paper rolls.

Choose a book to highlight for each week of the month. For example, practice reading Oh, the Places You'll Go! during the first week. This is a great book to help children start a dialogue about life and identify the coming challenges. Have students write stories about the occupations they want to have and place them in the pockets on the bulletin board.

White often uses And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street on the first day of school. (It was Seuss's first book for children!) She encourages children to talk about how they got to school that day. Then she asks them to draw a picture of something real or -- in Seuss's spirit! -- imaginary that they saw (or wished they could have seen) on the way to school. The pictures become the centerpiece of a And To Think That I Saw It on the Way to School hallway bulletin board. Then students create a class graph to show how they felt coming to school that day. The colored-in bars show how many kids were excited, nervous, both, or something else. The students take home a copy of the graph so they can talk with their parents about their first-day-of-school feelings. For White, these activities provide her with her first insight into her new students' personalities, skills, abilities to work with others.

Dr. Seuss was a prolific children's author whose innovative plots and creative use of rhyming conventions make his books popular to this day. Many of his classic works, including The Cat in the Hat and Horton Hears a Who, have been given a new lease on life through the creation of feature films. Children today are as familiar with his works as pupils in years past. Teachers can engage students in the exploration of these enjoyable and meaningful tales by creating interactive classroom bulletin boards.
