Welcome to The Wonderful, Whimsical, Weird and Whacky World of Dr. Seuss

     I woke up to receive to heartbreaking news first thing Monday morning. The kind of news that is completely unexpected and leaves you confused, and in shock, and makes you cry, and kind of go through the motions and a mixture of emotions. It has been a rough week when my heart wants to be somewhere else to be of help. Yet, I know I have been where God has wanted me to be and I tried very hard to be present with my little guy as we adventured through another week of learning.
     What a distraction a Dr. Seuss themed week can be to help me keep focused. As you look through the activities you may quickly notice I skipped Green Eggs and Ham activities, mainly because my son is, allergic to eggs. It is a fun thing to watch kids experience green eggs, but for mine it would be dangerous so no green eggs for us.
    We also focused on the letter Ww and my kid's very favorite color, blue.
