We've had a great week with Dr. Seuss! Today was our finale and we had a "Suessendipity" ~ Each of the four kindergarten classes rotated to each of the four kindergarten rooms to participate in a special event. Each teacher had a great activity planned!

For my project, each class recycled old crayons into new ones! Each child helped break old crayons into tiny bits, and we put different colors into each mold so that each child could have a new rainbow crayon to take home. We melted these bits in the microwave, and let cool in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. This project coincides with the Dr. Seuss book My Many Colored Days that we read this week and made a book on. On each page of our book, we wrote how we feel on a particular day (ex. on yellow days I feel sunny, on purple days I feel silly etc).

I hope the students will enjoy using their new rainbow crayons! If you are interested in trying this craft at home, or another craft to recycle your old crayons visit here.
