Dr. Seuss Day

 

 

Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration

Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Day will be Wednesday, March 2 this year.  Ms. Cunningham and I are suggesting the following activities to celebrate.   Since we have missed so much school this year, we tried to protect instructional time as much as possible.  We felt that reading to students would be an appropriate activity.
Pajama Day

Again this year, we will celebrate by wearing appropriate pajamas and bedroom shoes.  Please share with parents in your class newsletter. 

Cat In the Hat Readings

I will be dressed as Cat in the Hat again this year.  Since Mar. 2 is on a Wednesday and since that is my afternoon with no classes, I am offering to read to Pre-K - 4th grade classes in the media center, if you would like.  (Sorry, 5th & 6th--just not enough time.)  Check the schedule below and let me know if this will work.  (Special teachers: 1st & kinders would miss your class; you would need to bring the students to the media center & stay with them; so this would need your approval.  Please let me know.  Thanks!)

9:30 - 9:50  Preschool/Headstart

12:30 - 12:55  1st Grade

1:00 - 1:25  Kinders

1:30 - 1:55  2nd Grade
