Celebrating Dr. Suess Day
On March 2nd, SUSD students observed Dr. Suess Day, by inviting community, county, and district personnel to read to students. The idea behind this event, Read Across America honoring Dr. Seuss is to motivate kids to read, bring the joys of reading to students of all ages, and make all children feel valued and welcome. When people take the time to read with children, children get the message that reading is important. Parents, members of your community, and local personnel who make time to read at annual Read Across America celebrations help motivate kids to read and celebrate the diversity in their community and our country.

Cross Curricular Strategies That Have Impact On Student Learning
20 cross-curricular strategies for learning
Whether you are a teacher delivering instructions to students or a student attempting to retain information for a class, 20 cross-curricular strategies take advantage of the way all brains learn best. They are as follows:
- Brainstorming and Discussion: We remember what we talk about with others.
- Drawing and Artwork: Drawing helps students encode new content for later recall.
- Field Trips: We remember where we go in the real world.
- Games: When playing a game, the stress level goes down and the retention rate goes up.
- Graphic Organizers, Semantic Maps, and Word Webs: Having students design a mind map addresses both hemispheres of the brain.
- Humor: He who laughs most, learns best. – John Cleese
- Manipulatives, Experiments, Labs, and Models: There is a strong correlation between our hands hold and what our minds comprehend.
- Metaphors, Analogies, and Similes: Take what is unfamiliar to students and connect it to what is familiar and they will get it.
- Mnemonic Devices: Acronyms and acrostics enable students to memorize lists of items.
- Movement: Anything the brain learns while the body is in motion is long remembered.
- Music, Rhythm, Rhyme, and Rap: Nursery rhymes and song lyrics learned while we are children are easily remembered as adults.
- Project-Based and Problem-Based learning: When students are completing real-world projects or solving real-world problems, comprehension is facilitated.
- Reciprocal Teaching and Cooperative Learning: We remember 90% of what we teach to someone else.
- Roleplay: Involve me, I understand. Chinese Proverb
- Storytelling: The brain remembers stories because they are connected with a beginning, middle, and end.
- Technology: Technology is a workplace competency that enables students to be college – or career – ready.
- Visualization and Guided Imagery: Everything happens twice: once in the mind and once in reality. – Stephen Covey
- Visuals: Show me, I remember. – Chinese Proverb
- Work-Study and Apprenticeships: On the job training helps the content make sense.
- Writing and Journals: The brain remembers what we write in longhand better than what we type on a computer.
