Read Across America

We had a great week celebrating Dr. Seuss and Read Across America! Our fantastic librarian, Mrs.Groden, made sure there was something special each day to highlight the importance of reading and of course our love of Dr. Seuss! The children and teachers had so much fun.

Here are just a few highlights from our week! Enjoy :)

Tuesday: Kick off Assembly

The week began with a whole school assembly where we learned some very interesting facts about Dr. Seuss, sang our school's own Read Across America song lead by Mr. R, and of course took the "Reader's Oath."


Our class got to share a fact about the "Dr." in Dr. Seuss. Ask your child if  Dr. Seuss was really a doctor :)


Wednesday: Community Readers

Thank you to the community of Medfield! We had readers from all over town around our school reading aloud to the classes. Our reader was none other than Mr. Grenham, the principal from Dale Street School!



Mr. Grenham read one of my favorite and inspiring Dr. Seuss books, Oh The Places You'll Go.


Thursday: Crazy Sock Day

This was just pure fun! It was extra special for our class since we also earned our last link towards a class reward! Our stuffed animals got to spend the day learning right along side us.


Friday: Wear Red and White in honor of The Cat in the Hat

Our school was a sea of red and white AND we had a very special visitor greeting the children as they came to school. Thank you Cat in the Hat for making our morning! We had an extra special day since we had a mystery reader AND in keeping with the spirit of the week our reader read a Dr. Seuss inspired story (one that I had never even heard of!) called Clam I Am.





It really was a great week! Thank you for all who participated and helped your child get inspired by such an influential author and illustrator. And of course, thank you Dr. Seuss!
