Dr. Seuss Celebration and Donations

READ ACROSS AMERICA

"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." What better way to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday than reading to a child? On the evening of March 2nd (Dr. Seuss's birthday), Random House and the National Education Association (NEA) urge you to participate in the second annual Read Across America and read to a child. WHY CELEBRATE DR. SEUSS? Dr. Seuss epitomizes a love of children and learning. Also, his use of rhyme makes his books an effective tool for teaching young children the basic skills they need to be successful. When we celebrate Dr. Seuss and reading, we send a clear message to America's children that reading is fun and important. http://www.seussville.com/special/read.html Because this date lands on vacation this year, we will be celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America the weeks we return from vacation.  We will be reading many of his books, so if you could help out our classroom library, we'd appreciate it. If you have any Dr. Seuss' books, and wouldn't mind sharing them with us for 2-3 weeks, I'd appreciate it. Be sure to write your name clearly on the book to ensure a safe return!
