Dr. Seuss Pep Rally

   I realized while looking through my pictures I needed to get close ups of the children's t-shirts. Each classroom had their own color to tie dye t-shirts and decorate for this Pep Rally. Our classroom had light blue. I used rubber bands to make strips and we made hand print Thing 1 & Thing 2 on the front. There were so many creative ideas for the t-shirts. One class did Sneetches inspired shirts while another class did Horten the elephant inspired shirts. I will try to get some close ups next week so you can see all the detail that was put into them.
  Now I bet you are wondering how to have a Pep Rally for young children. We do a lot of cheering, music, and dancing. Oh, and don't forget the silly string that was sprayed into the air! A few classrooms had special songs they wanted to sing. One two year old class did "The Wheels on the Bus" and another sang w/ hand movements "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes". My class did the "Harlem Shake", which was so much fun even when our lead dancer became a little shy at first. The K-1 class did a rhyming rap with three awesome "break dancers". We have student nurses who come to our school twice a week right now to learn more about young children's development. They thought they would watch, but at our school you have to participate!!! I have a few pictures to share of them, one who did a great job doing the "worm".

 This is the end of our Pep Rally when everyone was dancing.

Love how the student nurses jump right in and started dancing. The children thought that was very cool!
