OH NO!!I thought I published this last week....yikes!! Sorry for the lapse :)
Here's how we celebrated the week at Memorial...
Monday:
Our mystery reader started us off with a Dr. Seuss read aloud, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
Tuesday:
We had a school wide assembly to honor Dr. Seuss and learn a little more about him. Ask your child if he or she learned anything new about Dr. Seuss like that his Mom use to make up rhymes about the pies she'd sell, or that he collected hats and called them thinking caps, or maybe that he was born right here in MA!
Wednesday:
Community Reader! We were lucky enough to get Dr. Crowell. Not only did he read our class a story, but we got to see real animal x-rays from the clinic. He even brought in a special visitor!
In addition to Read Across America, it's all also World Read Aloud Day! We were lucky enough to have a Skype session with a class in Maryland. We got to enjoy a tandem read aloud lead by our own Mrs. Groden and Mr. Winner, the librarian from the school in Maryland.
