Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

Last week we studied poetry, rhyming words and the books and life of Dr. Seuss. We began writing a biography about Dr. Seuss whose actual name is Theodor Seuss Geisel. As most of you know we celebrated Read Across America. This is an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. One part of the project is National Read Across America Day, an observance in the United States held on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Our students did a great job reading outside of school and we celebrated with a Dr. Horton Hears a Who and a popcorn party. We also made mini-birthday cakes to celebrate....ummmmm yummy and messy as you can see.
