Happy Birthday

By: Heather Perry

I will be teaching this unit to a kindergarten

class of 20 students!

My main objective of this unit is to educate

the children on how Dr. Seuss made

education and learning a fun and exciting

experience.

Day 1: I will read “The Cat in The Hat” to the students and give them their new

spelling/vocabulary words that will consist of new expressions such as rhyme,

contractions, and onset etc.

Day 2: I will read “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” to the students and

we will do our math lesson on counting and adding.

Day 3: I will read “Oh The Places You’ll Go” and have the students pick a place

out on the map and write about what they would like to do while they are there.

This will cover writing and geography.

Day 4: I will read “Happy Birthday To You” to the students and they will then

write down their birthday (with my help if needed) and form a line in the front of

the classroom in the correct order from January to December with their

classmates. This will help them learn the months in numerical order.

Day 5: I will read “Green Eggs and Ham” to the students and after they have

taken their spelling/vocabulary test I will then escort them to the cafeteria

where their own special plate of green eggs and ham will be awaiting them.

cards on the Elmo and each student will have a chance to come up and

try to match a set of cards.

Day 3: Google Earth

Day 4: Months of the Year Song!
