On Dr. Seuss' birthday, March 2nd, we had a "Fox in Socks Day". The children were able to explore a variety of activities throughout the day to expand their appreciation for the book, Fox in Socks.
On this day, we took off our shoes and paraded around the classroom wearing only our socks! We took turns wearing and having our picture taken in a tall striped hat, similar to the one worn by "The Cat in the Hat" and holding our Fox in Socks stuffed animal, while we listened to the story.
At group time, we painted with socks and used blocks to build tall towers inspired by those mentioned in the book. We explored the mysterious blue goo (a combination of equal parts glue and shaving cream, then colored with blue paint) in which Fox and Mr. Knox discover a Goo-Goose. We also manipulated boxes, like the one that Slow Joe Crow sews Mr. Knox into; climbing inside them, pushing them, and stacking them.
We had an extremely educational and exciting day role playing Fox in Socks.
