Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss &
Read Across America Week





Dr.Seuss was born on March 2nd, 1904.  He was a very famous writer.  He wrote books like Cat in the Hat and the sequel, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.  On Tuesday Emily's mom, Mrs. Karmanocky, came to our classroom and read Oh The Places You'll Go.  Mrs. Burgess also came and read Bag Head, it was a fun story.  On Wednesday Mrs. Snipes came and she read Bartholomew and the 500 Hats and on Thursday Officer Lafferty came to read Puff the Magic Dragon.  He also talked about what he did as a police officer.  Afterwards we got to listen to Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul, and Mary.  On Thursday we also had Book Character Day so we had to dress up like our favorite book character and bring the book to school with us.  We went to the gym at the end of the day to show our costumes to the other 4th grade classes.  Read Across America week was very fun; I hope we do it again!
