Yesterday we read The Cat and The Hat by Dr. Seuss to celebrate his birthday.
First and Kinder Blue Skies has these amazing directed drawings and she has this easy one for a cat with a hat. I am not an excellent drawer but her directed drawings make it easy to show the kids how to draw this. I highly recommend you check her out here.
Our stem activity for the day is to make a hat tower. We use these little red cups and notecards that have been cut in half and we try to make the biggest tower. Our biggest one was 11 high. It is a great way to show why you shouldn't give up and why you need to keep going.
