Holiday of the Week: Dr. Seuss' Birthday: Read Across America
Cat in the Hat {Craft}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's 2008-2009 Preschool Yearbook, page 59. {Materials: 1 paper plate, 2 pipe cleaners, 1 pom pom, 1 hat template, 2 black scraps crayons, markers or paint.}

Story Time Activity {There's a Wocket in my Pocket}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Preschool Yearbook 2007-2008, Page 176 {We read There's a Wocket in My Pocket - a favorite of my girls.  Then, we each took turns hiding the "Wockets" around the preschool making up names for each once we discovered the hidden beings.}

Getting to Know the letter V

V Flashcards from KizClub.com

Vases of Vs {Uppercase and Lowercase Letters}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Circle Time from A to Z. {Each student had a flower and had to determine if the "flower" v was a capital letter or a lowercase letter. Once each student made a decision, she placed her flower in the vase that matched the case.  We checked all of the letters after to make sure it was correctly identified.}

On the Vine {Letter Identification}
This idea was taken from the Education Center's Circle Time from A to Z. {We actually didn't play this sound game, since I never finished cutting out the Vs before the week was over.  Give each student a letter.  If it is a "V" she can add it to the vine (green ribbon) or it is placed to the side if the letter is not a "V."}
