Poetry & Dr. Seuss.

Studying poetry in Language Arts today ~ the assignment is about forced rhymes. Griffin was to read a Dr. Seuss book and complete a written assignment about the book he chose to read. Dr. Seuss had a clever knack of inventing words and creatures and used forced rhyme very effectively.

I remember when I bought 'The Sneetches' for Griffin. He was in kindergarten and came home telling me all about the book. He asked if he could have a copy for home. I'm so glad we kept his collection of Dr. Seuss books!

After school we had fun making Minecraft paper crafts. They are easy ~ print, cut, glue!
