Here is a great link to the site where you can find all of the Dr. Seuss books. If you do not have the Cat in the Hat book you could go to the library or find it at that link. Here are a few talking points in this story:
- The Cat in the Hat is sneaky and mischievous along with other things. I like to talk about how those are not good traits to have. You can also ask, "What are some good traits to have?"
- The Cat in the Hat is good at balancing items
- Rhyming words-you can talk about all the rhyming words that you find in the story. If you’d like you could even write down the words or tally them up.
Music and Movement: Cat and Hat song is a super fun to sing working on rhyming words

We are going to work on recognizing the number 2 by hopping today. You can hop along with Miss Cullen in this hopping video and every time you count to the number two make sure to shout it out. This will help the children to remember the number that they are working on.

The Lost Son
Print out the Bible Key Point Coloring Page and have your children color the picture. Sit with your children while they are coloring and talk about what they see in the picture (see questions below if you’d like some ideas). This is a time for observation before the story is read and for children to share their thoughts on what they see in the picture and what they are thinking. It’s okay if they do not answer the questions correctly, allow them to share their thoughts. Your discussion will lead into The Lost Son story you have read together on Day 1.
Questions to ask if you like:
- How many people do you see in this picture? (Two)
- Are the people boys or girls? (Boys)
- What does it look like is happening in the picture? (Accept all answers)
This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Luke. When you find Luke in the new testament look for the number 15 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Luke 15. We are looking for verse 24, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 15.”

Today we are going to do magic painting otherwise known as crayon resist. In the Cat in the Hat story he is balancing a fish bowl. I thought it would be fun to have children draw a fish or whatever they’d like in a fishbowl (cut it out of white construction paper) and then paint over it with blue food coloring for the water. If you wanted, you could even have children add some sand or some grass to their bowl. Click here for the fishbowl pattern. Here is the video on how to go about doing this project.
