Dr. Seuss on the Loose at
VOL School
Visitation of Our Lady School recently held a
Kindergarten Literacy Night with a Dr. Seuss
theme. Teachers and assistants dressed in characters such as
the Cat in the Hat and Things 1, 2, and 3.
Students dressed in their pajamas and rotated to
various stations to earn stickers for their participation. The
kindergarteners were served “green eggs and ham,” a dish
from the popular Dr. Seuss story by the same name.
At the science table, students were taught to make
"oobleck," a substance first described in a 1949 Seuss story,
Bartholomew and the Oobleck, in which a king wished for
something other than rain to fall from the sky. (Oobleck has
properties of both liquids and solids. A dipped hand into the
substance feels like a liquid, but if the oobleck is squeezed
or punched, it feels solid.
Other activities included making bird feeders, face
painting, art projects, literacy and math activities, and
more! We don’t know who enjoys this annual family event
more - the students or the parents!
