Read Across America!
By: Janna Corley
March 2, 2016 is National Read Across America Day!
Let's get ready to celebrate National Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss's birthday! We have BIG plans and would love for everyone to take part this year. Teachers, do you have a favorite Dr. Seuss character or book? What better way to show your enthusiasm about reading than to DRESS UP as your favorite character from a Dr. Seuss book or any other book of your choice. Get with your grade level and plan together or go solo, the choice is yours! Our students will LOVE to see you dressed up on March 2nd!
