March 9, 2010 - On Tuesday, March 2, the students at Blue Creek Elementary participated in Read Across America 2010 and celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday. Support Teacher Amy Weismann dressed up as the Cat in the Hat, greeting students as they arrived in the morning.

Children on all grade levels took part in various different Dr. Seuss activities. Mrs. Connor's Kindergarten class read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and worked on their rhyming, while Ms. Scism's first grade class read Dr. Seuss books with their reading buddies in Mrs. Kemp's fourth grade class.

Ms. Zandri's first grade class read Green Eggs and Ham, The Foot Book and then played Twister working on their right and left! Ms. Dennis's second grade class did Dr. Seuss activities in their centers. Mrs. Berger's third grade class read Oh, The Places You Will Go and discussed the connection between the book and our word of the month -

Perseverance.

Mrs. Carlson's third grade class listened to a read aloud of The Cat in the Hat, and worked on writing rhyming poems in Dr. Seuss's style. Mrs. Silver's sixth grade class read Oh, The Places You'll Go as well, and discussed the author's meaning and how it relates to them, as sixth graders.

It truly was a Seuss-tastic day!
