In celebration of Read Across America and Dr. Seusss's birthday, we are having an all-school READ-IN on Monday, March, 2nd. At 12:35 everyone, students and staff, will read for 15 minutes. Parents, please be on the look out for a Dr. Seuss packet that is coming home with a letter from Governor Culver, a certificate of participation, and a bibliography of books and websites that you can enjoy with your child.KINDERGARTEN got a close-up look of the art of POP-UP books when we read Horton Hears a Who! Everyone loved learning how pop-up books have tabs, wheels, and flaps to create a really fun reading experience.
1st/2nd GRADERS read Happy Birthday to You! This book was first published in 1959 making it the 50th Anniversary of the book. The students had fun calculating that 1959 + 50 = 2009! WOW! The book's theme celebrates being you with repeating lines of "I AM I!".
