Cat in the Hat Day Activities
I think students find it more fun to review report card standards if you give them a new twist by adding them to a theme day.
Slap on a bit of Cat in the Hat clip art and you have a new Memory Match game that will have your little ones wanting to review upper and lowercase letters one more time.
Print them off on two different colors so the game is easier to play. I’ve also made cards for skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 5’s, and 10’s and counting by 1’s for little ones.

Decide which group of numbers you want students to work on. Run off the Cat in the Hat sheets and pass out some red markers. 
Students play in groups of 2 to 4, taking turns spinning the paperclip.
Whatever number they land on they trace and then write the number on their hat. 
They do not have to do it in any particular order.
If they spin a number they’ve already traced, they lose their turn. The person who fills in their entire hat, or the one with the most stripes colored in by the time the timer rings, is the winner.
Seuss Time is played the same way, only with digital time to the hour. I have also included digital time cards so students can make Itty Bitty time booklets as well.

Newsprint Art:
Combine letter recognition and counting with this simple and fun art center. This is a great "go green" recycling project for March.
Save up old newspapers and find the pages that have mostly printed articles with hardly any pictures on them.
Tear them out and put them in a pile. Trace and cut out 6 tag board templates of a shamrock and a Seuss hat. (Recycle some more by using old file folders.)
Choose one of these as a center activity for Dr. Seuss's Birthday (March 2nd) a Cat in the Hat Day for March is Reading Month, or do the shamrock for St. Patrick's Day.
Students trace the template on their sheet of newspaper, circle all the letter S's that they can find, and count as they circle them.
Students write a grand total somewhere in a space on the newsprint. Children highlight the entire shape with a green highlighter if they've traced a shamrock, or color alternating red stripes if they've done a Seuss hat.
When they are done, they cut out their shape and glue it to a piece of construction paper. For a great math extension, graph results and add up the total number of S's everyone found.
These make sharp looking boarders for a b. board. Click on the link to view/download Newsprint Dr. Seuss Hat and Shamrock
