March 1, 2013 Dr. Seuss Day

 
We celebrated Dr. Seuss Day
With the entire Seabury School
In a zany, crazy way,
Oh my, it was cool.

We had a contest of sorts
From a lot of Seuss books
And searched the deep recesses
 Of our busy brains’ nooks

For the answers to questions
Of obscure detailed trivia
Like what color were the pants
With the people in absentia?

 The Navigators knew lots;
The answer was green!
But in the last round
They were not quite as keen.

But we had lots of fun
On this day of uniqueness
Trying to hold oobleck
‘Twas a liquid/solidy mess .

We adore Dr. Seuss
And his love for the rhyme
And we'll get ready for next year
When it’s trivia time!

Trivia contest

Mixing the cornstarch and water oobleck concoction

Making it green

The oozy goozy great green swamp monster

Oobleck fun for both our middle school and preschool friends

Brother buddy reading
 
"I do not like them, Sam I am
I do not like green eggs and ham!"
~Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham

"The bigger the better!" laughed the King. "Oh, what a day! I'm going to make it a holiday! I want every man, woman and child in my kingdom to go out and dance in my glorious oobleck!"
~Dr. Seuss, Bartholomew and the Oobleck

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
~Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
 
"Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches had none upon thars.
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small.
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all."
~Dr. Seuss, The Sneetches

The Navigators were all piled
aclad in their pj's
 
 With blankies and animals
Another great day of all days!
