Green Eggs and Ham
Green Eggs and Ham | Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
186 posts | 428 read | 4 to read
Green Eggs and Ham is almost without doubt the most popular children's book of all time. Dr. Seuss first published it in August, 1960. The vocabulary of the text consists of just fifty different words and was the result of an assignment to Dr. Seuss that Dr. Seuss could complete an entire book using so few words. The 50 words are: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you. Dr. Seuss wrote many popular books, including If I Ran the Zoo, (1950), Horton Hears a Who (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), The Cat in the Hat (1957), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957).

A playful and rhythmic tale about trying new things, this classic book turns picky eating into an adventure of discovery.

What do these two books have in common?

My almost 2 year old really thinks these characters want high fives ?

(I especially love it cause she pronounces it "high flive" right now)

Borrowed from Goodwill Librarian on Facebook. “Today marks the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991), more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book? ❤️” I love all Dr. Seuss books, of course, but I think my favorite is Green Eggs and Ham. 🥰💕

1) 💚 🥚
2) fried with a little bit of yellow running 🍳
3) A hen turns her eggs approximately 50 times a day to keep the embryo from sticking to the side of the shell. Plus, one hen may lay as many as 300 eggs per year! Thanks google!

1) green eggs and ham.
2) in a cake or cookie. (I hate the texture and taste of eggs)
3) A hen must eat 4-5 pounds of feed to produce one dozen eggs.

I‘m taking my fact of the day whiteboard duties very seriously this week.

Not sure who changed the poll… or who among the library staff thinks Jack Ryan is their best bet 👀

Who would you call?

Ruthiella Lisbeth Salander. 1y
julesG Well, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson in Taken) would certainly get me out, but that's a film franchise. Temperance Brennan could identify my remains. Still, best bet probably is John Wick; just look at what he did when someone killed his puppy. 🤣🤣 1y

julesG @Lizpixie Good choice! 1y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, Booth is FBI, he‘d be able to track down a kidnapper… John Wick is a good choice tho! 1y

Hooked_on_books Kinsey Milhone 1y
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Right, Booth would get the job done. But I was thinking of book-Tempe for a change. Well, then I'd have to call Andrew Ryan, I guess. 1y

This wonderful rhyming picture book 📖 is about Sam I Am's attempt to convince the narrator to try green eggs and ham. Offering the narrator different locations and dining partners to try the delicacy. A wonderful NF/RA, repetitive story of trying something new hesitantly that may look or sound different but finding the new thing to be great.

This MF picture book was first published in 1960 and was birthed from the quirky mind of Dr. Seuss. Sam-I-Am really LOVES green eggs and ham, and so should everyone else! Unbelievably his new friend refuses even give the green eggs a taste. Not on a train, not even in the rain, can Sam-I-Am get his new friend to feel the same way as he does about green eggs and ham. RT is the teaching strategy for this rhythming picture book from Dr. Seuss.

Sdemps For additional lesson plans and activities for Dr. Seuss, the author website is a great resource for teachers.

DrSpalding You could not have selected a better website resource. I could get lost on that site for hours! Consider using that as a tech station during your amazing author study! There was not a year when I was teaching first grade that I did not make green eggs and ham in my classroom. The kids would not want to try it because of the green food coloring but once they did… They loved it. 4y

This P., Dr. Seuss's classic book, is about Sam-I-Am trying to get Guy-I-Am to eat the green eggs and ham. Sam is convinced that they are the best things to eat anywhere. He mentions all the places that he could it until Guy-I-Am gets tired of Sam insisting that he finally tried them and loves them. This book is an outstanding selection to have in the classroom and use SR with the students. Students will love reenacting the story.

Green Eggs and Ham is a P book by Dr. Seuss. This story is about Sam-I-am trying to convince another character to try green eggs and ham. They go through different settings and adventures where they meet different characters while Sam-I-am keeps trying to persuade the character to try the green eggs and ham. In the end, the character in the story tries the green eggs and ham and loves them. #UCFLAE3414SP21


StephanyNunez Furthermore, Green Eggs and Ham is fantastic for a read-aloud (RA). The students will further comprehend the story using UDL principle 2.1 ( clarify vocabulary and symbols) and support activities from https://seasonal.theteacherscorner.net/read-across-america/green-eggs-and-ham.ph... This resource will help students with vocabulary comprehension. EL strategy 6 (Continually monitor students‘ comprehension). #UCFLAE3414SP21

"I do not like green eggs and ham, I do no like them Sam I Am."

1. The theme to the Batman TV series. I had it on a 45 and would run around the house with a towel as a cape ???

Will Sam's friend ever try the Green Eggs and Ham? Green Eggs and Ham is a funny poetry book written by the amazing Dr. Suess and awarded the Caldecott Medal. This book would be best read aloud or through a fun storytelling.

AshleyH Teacher Resource: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Green-Eggs-and-Ham-Activity-Pack-Wor...
This TpT provides many activities that go along with the book, Green Eggs and Ham, for grades K-2. My favorite activity is the “I Do Like...“ writing worksheet. This is a great way for young students to practice writing.
4y
AshleyH UDL- Develop self-assessment and reflection (9.3)
Students will reflect on the food they like in the “I Do Like...“ worksheet.
EL- 14. Simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant
While reading Green Eggs and Ham to the class make sure you are reading a good pace where ELLs will have time to process the words.

Ameyer32 One of the very first books I remember reading on my own. Love the Dr. Seuss beginner books. Great UDL and ESOL connections. 4y
DrSpalding Dr. Seuss was challenged to write the story with 50 words or less and this was the result. Excellent book selections. Before consulting outside resources, go straight to the author and publisher. There are so many free, quality resources available! 4y
