Well parents, you probably already know that today we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday! All week we read Dr. Seuss books to prepare ourselves for his birthday party! We learned that Dr. Seuss' real name is Theodore Geisel and his actual birthday is on March 2nd. He turned 107 today — just 105 years older than Cindy Lou Who!!
I truly adore Dr. Seuss. His creative imagination, his play on repetitive and rhyming words, and his ability to make everyone want to read more - from the creative Cat in the Hat to Oh the Thinks You Can Think! My personal favorite is "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" simply because it was one of the first books I "mastered." I can still recite most of that book with my eyes shut!
But today we want to know, which one is YOUR favorite. In math we are learning about bar graphs and we are going to graph our results! Please help us out and reply with the title, and if you wish, explain to us why it is a favorite or a great memory you have from reading Dr. Seuss Books! Don't be shy now. Start commenting!
We are wishing Dr. Seuss a happy 107th birthday, and I hope that his stories continue to encourage every young student to read and enjoy reading!

Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favorites because it reminds us that we'll never know if we like something until we try it. Angie- Evan's mom.
ReplyDeleteWe have two votes for Fox in Socks. Max & Mom like to try to see who can say the rhymes the fastest! Stella's vote is for Green Eggs and Ham because she thinks it would be fun to eat in all of those crazy places. Oliver's vote is for One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!
