I set up a Wacky Words Center so they could create their own words like Dr. Seuss often did:  [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wacky_words_2.jpg?width=317&height=320&name=wacky_words_2.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wacky_words_2-1.jpg)  Here are two of my favorite wacky words: [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wacky_words.jpg?width=246&height=320&name=wacky_words.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wacky_words-1.jpg) Fifth graders were responsible for creating advertisements for Dr. Seuss's Birthday Bash and did a fantastic job: [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/poster-1.jpg?width=320&height=220&name=poster-1.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/poster.jpg) [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/poster_2.jpg?width=320&height=225&name=poster_2.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/poster_2-1.jpg)  I used some of my regular centers during the week but Seuss-ified them:  [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/floor_puzzle.jpg?width=320&height=240&name=floor_puzzle.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/floor_puzzle-1.jpg) [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Dr_Seuss_Puzzle.jpg?width=320&height=300&name=Dr_Seuss_Puzzle.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Dr_Seuss_Puzzle-1.jpg) [![](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/crossword.jpg?width=320&height=240&name=crossword.jpg)](https://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/crossword-1.jpg) I also have a [blog](http://countrysidelibrary.weebly.com/) for students.  Every week, I post a "Guess the Word Cloud" and of course did a Dr. Seuss cloud. (Sidenote: if you haven't checked out [Tagxedo](http://tagxedo.com/), you should!)
