The Flying Eagle
Read Across
America
by Felicity Lance
On Friday, March 1st, Read Across America took place. It was a
celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday and was meant to encourage children
to read and have fun.
The theme for this year was, “Grab Your Hat and Read with the Cat.”
East School students had fun by having a “Crazy Hat Day” and
bookmark contest. Students all over America did fun activities or
events like that, too.
Read Across America was inspired by Dr. Seuss’ humorous
stories. There are great lessons and humor in most of his
books. Here are a few of our favorites: Green Eggs
and Ham, The Cat in the Hat
Comes Back, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, The Foot
Book, Hop on Pop and Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? You can
tell they are funny books just by the titles.
Our teachers, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Baker, said their favorite Dr. Seuss
book is Sneeches, which teaches an important lesson
about being happy with yourself,
and accepting others. Many of Dr. Seuss’ books teach important
lessons. Can you figure out what the lesson is in Horton Hears a
Who!?
Try reading some of Dr. Seuss’ books, and you can
have fun reading!
