Happy 105th Birthday, Dr. Suess!






Monday was Dr. Suesses' Birthday or Read Across America Day! The kids school really makes a BIG deal about it. Parents are invited to come into the classroom to celebrate by reading with their children in the classroom. This is only after they have a book read to them at the flag salute. Hal Clement a local San Diego News Man and father of one of our 3rd grade teachers has come for several years now to read a Dr. Suess Book to the kids. This year Miss Clement's 3rd grade class acted out The Snitches as it was read by Hal. It was adorable! The children wore their CRAZY hats in Dr. Suesses honor then they paraded around the black top with their class banner that represented a book that their class had recently read. What a fun way to start the week!!

My mom's the reading specialist at her school and Read Across America day is not nearly as fun for her as it is for the kids! I think she loves the actual day, but it is stressful for her leading up to it, getting everything coordinated! I glad your kids enjoyed yours!
