Teacher in the Hat


Cat in the Hat 

Oh Lord !!!  It was time to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss's Book and I wanted to surprise my  First Grade Students. We had read Dr. Seuss’s biography included on their Journey's Book. What if ...They receive the visit of Cat in the Hat ??  Guess what??  Of course,  Me!  They weren't expecting it. The Cat came accompanied by Thing 1 and Thing 2, portrayed by Angela and Sebastián. I read aloud the famous story and students did an assessment on rhyming words.  Everyone had their own hat. What a Great Surprise! 

Cat in the Hat costume is very simple to do:

Dress in black, any long sleeve shirt or t-shirt. Take a piece of white fabric and cut an oval shape for the tummy. Attach with safety pins. Make a bow with a wide red ribbon or  sew one red bow. Attach with pins. Use a white poster board and red construction paper to make the hat. Use white gloves. You can make them with felt. You can find the hat template at www.atoteacherstuff.com and the bow template at www.prekfun.com

Special thanks to my mother-in-law that sew the red bow for me and the white fabric for the tummy.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 


He was so excited with the visit of Cat in the Hat, that he wanted to "dressed" like Thing 1 too!
I love his face!
