Read Across America 2018

A Seusstastic time was had by all celebrating Read Across America 2018! To prepare for the special day I decorated hallways and bulletin boards with Seuss characters and quotes to get everyone in the Seuss spirit...

The day started with guest visitors reading Dr. Seuss books: our class was visited by my friend, Mrs. Carol Fillippi, a Monmouth County Historical Society docent, who arrived in her handmade colonial costume to read to us Oh, the Places You'll Go...

Next, we showed off our Seusstastic style during the school Seuss character costume parade...

 

We then returned to class and created "Oh, the Places We'll Go" hot air balloons. Students picked a place they want to go and wrote three reason why, using transitions words to begin each sentence..

Another Seuss writing project displayed in our room is our Dr. Seuss biographies that students wrote during our biography genre unit...

We ended the celebration watching Horton Hears a Who with 1st and 2nd grade.
