I found out that Dr.Seuss has stuff for math and TONS more for science!
There are some videos and full episodes of Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That! On http://pbskids.org/video/
Below I copied all the math problems I fixed specifically for my class from another sites story problems ( http://www.mathstories.com/bookstories/Book_12_Dr_Seuss.htm )
I also found a neat prezi to show my kids this morning to introduce Dr. Seuss!

Seussville ( http://www.seussville.com/Educators/educatorPlanningCalendar.php ) has activities for everything including neat programs like The Lorax Project

There are so many neat science resources I had no idea about... I am considering the whole month of march doing a small lesson everyday to review and go along with my science curriculum! My kids LOVE The Magic School Bus and many times they have seen the same episodes year after year (not that they or I complain) I believe they will be intrigued for another cartoon/ books about science. These are the books that I am going to use as my intro (some of which are going to be VERY hard to find!) into lessons and reviewing.

Dr. Seuss Word Problems
1. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am. You do not like them, so you say. "Have you tried 24 blueberry pancakes with 48 dollops of dream whip on top of 32 green eggs and 16 ham chunks altogether," I asked. If you round these to the nearest ten, how many things would you be eating?
2. The more things that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. If you read 25 pages in 45 minutes on Monday, 25 pages in 42 minutes on Tuesday, and 25 pages in 41 minutes on Wednesday, what is the time in minutes that you read in all 3 days?
If he continues this pattern, how many pages would he have read in the month of February?
3. Poor Mayzie had a daisy sprouting right out of her hair. It grew 3 inches each day. How many inches was this daisy in 2 weeks? In 3 weeks?
4. Congratulations! Today is your day! You're off to Great Places traveling at 160 miles in 4 hours. You're off and away! How many miles would you have traveled in an hour?
5. The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. It rained for 2 inches on Tuesday, 4 inches on Wednesday, 8 inches on Thursday, 16 inches the next day. So we sat in the house all those cold, cold, wet days. If this pattern continues how much will it rain on Sunday?
6. The Cat in the Hat wanted to show the kids tricks. He could hold up 12 cups, 2 bottles of milk, 3 pink cakes, 1 dozen books, 1 goldfish on a purple rake. He could hold 2 toy ships and 2 dozen toy men, and with his tail he could hold a red fan. How many items were The Cat in the Hat holding before he fell?
7. Deep within the woods I spied a pair of pale green pants with nobody in them!!!!!! I wasn't scared. But, yet, I stopped. For if I moved I would have completed a total distance of 200 feet around the square forest. How much would each side of the forest be in feet if all four sides were equal?
8. "Cause you never can tell what goes on down below! This pool might be bigger than you or I know!" If the pool is 16 feet wide and 24 feet long, what is the total perimeter in feet?
If they wanted to fill the pool that is 5 feet, how much water will they need to fill the pool?
9. Left foot, right foot feet! feet! feet! How many, many feet you meet. With 25 classmates and 2 teachers in your room, how many total feet are there?
10. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." But our presents do. At Wal-Mart I spent $145.25 and at Toys R Us I spent $200.05. If I started with $500, how much money did I not spend?
11. My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare. "To eat these things," said my uncle, "You must exercise with great care." If my uncle burned 25 calories each mile he jogged, then how many total calories did he burn jogging 7 miles?
12. Fame had knocked on Mayzie's door. Now she had it all-and more. Piles of money, stacked in tens, but what is money without friends? If Mayzie gave Ralph a stack of 13 tens, Judy a stack of 24 tens, and Phil a stack of 33 tens, how much money (in dollars) did Mayzie give away?
I have a picture of my door for Dr. Seuss!
