The Cat in the Hat

Earlier this week I asked both Jake and Landry Grace's teachers if I could bring a Dr. Seuss snack and read The Cat in the Hat to their classes. Really I had only planned to come and read, but Mrs. Renee had other plans when she asked me if I had a hat and bow tie. So I decided to dress up....and read the book to them. Both kids were super excited about having me come to their class. And it was something fun for myself as I don't get to do these kinds of things with my own children.

I had 2 cupcake cakes made at Wal-Mart in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. Very cute and inexpensive idea. Each class loved getting cupcakes.
Yours truly reading with expression, or trying to!
And I loved this sweet picture of Jake's classmates. They were SO surprised to see "The Cat in the Hat" walk into their room.

When I went into Landry Grace's class, she would not even look at me. She is not into anyone or anything dressed up or in character form. She is very easily scared. It was pretty funny but she warmed up to me and eventually took a picture once Jake convinced her it was me.
Being a teacher, I always see cute ideas and try to make mental notes. I saw the cupcake cake last year at Glen View and vowed that I would do it this year. So glad that I did and added my costume in the mix. Hope you are taking notes as well:)! Your preschooler would love this!!
