1st Grade: Gertrude McFuzz by Dr. Seuss

 It is my goal to attach the nearly every art lesson to literature. It seems like students today are moving farther and farther away from the written word, and it scares me. Reading together with your student or child helps them with word recognition, builds speech skills, enhances concentration, improves logic skills, and builds a foundation for future education. And reading is fun!

Today's art lesson comes from the fantastic mind of Dr. Seuss's Gertrude McFuzz. Students were asked to create their own Gertrude McFuzz right after she ate from the pill-berry bush. A berry from the pill-berry bush will make your tail feather grow. Be careful.
 How many berries did you eat Gertrude?! "1000000000 and 6!" according to one little boy.
