Dr. Seuss Day!

"The more that you read, the more things that you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

Friday was Dr. Seuss' birthday and I was lucky enough to spend it with the kindergarten class that I am observing in. There were different activities for the day. Each worksheet they completed was connected to Dr. Seuss in some way. There was also three guest readers! A retired principal from their school, the superintendent, and a language arts teacher for older students. Each student was given a hat that looked just like the Cat in the Hat's hat with their name on it. One of the activities they did was decoding a secret message. There a blank for each letter of the words in the message and under each blank was a picture of one of Dr. Seuss' characters. Each character represented a letter. The message that the students figured out was "Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss." Then they completed a word search of the names of different Dr. Seuss characters. The students loved it! At the end of the day they had one more story and the teacher asked me to read it! I was excited that I could take part in their special day and be one of their guest readers! I read one of my favorite Dr. Seuss' books, The Cat in the Hat. The kids had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and so did I!

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
