SHOEMAKER ELEMENTARY
READ ACROSS AMERICA CELEBRATION
On March 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, we will tip our hats to Dr. Seuss and celebrate his birthday and his newly discovered book, What Pet Should I Get? with creative acts of reading and learning for our Shoemaker Students. Students and staff of Shoemaker Elementary will celebrate Read Across America Day in honor of the beloved author Dr. Seuss with A SEUSSICAL GARDEN OF READING CELEBRATION.
Read on for more information and resources you can read at home.
A SEUSSICAL GARDEN OF READING
Dr. Seuss was wild about books and crazy about animals too! Dr. Seuss had a talent for creating fantastic creatures that brought his books to life. His newest book to debut is WHAT PET SHOULD I GET? We are going to transform ROOM 214 into a Magical Garden of Reading...Dr. Seuss style ...featuring flowers, grass and trees, stuffed Dr. Seuss Characters, Dr. Seuss books, pet books and a garden of reading fun. We will allow students and their buddies to explore our Seussical Garden to discover and read books about PETS that we may or may not see in our own backyard garden.
HOW CAN YOU HELP???
Each classroom will have a designated day to visit our Seussical Garden... March 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Your teacher will notify you of your classes designated day.
On that day...
1. We are asking each child to bring in a stuffed animal that they would like as a PET.2. Wear a Dr. Seuss Hat or t-shirt in honor of Dr. Seuss( if you have one)
3. Donate your coins to help adopt the giraffes. ( if you wish to make a donation) See info below.
Would A Giraffe make a Good Pet?...Let's Help Adopt the Giraffes
As we continue to promote kindness...Shoemaker is taking part in the Adopt the Giraffes at the Lehigh Valley Zoo Campaign. The Community Service Club will be making a donation from profits earned from the Student Store. In Addition...we will have a large jar in our Magical Garden of Reading with a special SPOT dedicated to Giraffes. Each student who makes a donation can fill out a GIRAFFE BOOK MARKER to hang on a special display. Staff will also participate in JEANS FOR GIRAFFES DRESS DOWN DAY. So far the Zoo has raised $40,000.00 of the $700,000. needed to build the new Giraffe Habitat. Watch the video below!
