Dr. Seuss Doors

The culminating activity to our week of Dr. Seuss celebrations was touring the school and admiring all the Seusstastical doors!

Students guessed what book each door was representing and logged it. We compared doors of the books expressing the same title and even scanned a few Seuss QR Codes.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss! We enjoyed celebrating you! 

Reading Across America (Literally!)

In honor of "Read Across America" week and Dr. Seuss' birthday, my class read across America, doing a reader's theater with our pen-pal class in Massachusetts. We performed Green Eggs and Ham through a video-conference. My class had the role of "Friend" while our pen-pal class portrayed "Sam-I-Am."

This was a very unique 21st century learning experience and the students enjoyed seeing and chatting with their pen-pals for a few minutes after the reader's theater. A brief clip can be viewed here.  We really enjoyed reading across America!

Celebrating the Birthday of Dr. Seuss

Today we celebrated what would have been the 110th birthday of Dr. Seuss!

We welcomed celebrity reader Robin Nash from trending radio hot 97.5 and 103.9 to read aloud to us. 

After the book, she took some time to do some Q&A with us answering questions ranging from how to become a radio deejay to what her favorite Dr. Seuss books are. This celebrity reader was a fun way to kick-off a week long of Seussical activities to celebrate reading!
