Today, March 2nd, is the birthday of writer Theodor Geisel, known to generations of young readers as Dr. Seuss. In his honor, it has been declared Read Across America Day by the National Education Assn. This is the 14th year that thousands of participating schools, libraries and community centers will celebrate the day by reading together.
I found out that Washington, D.C., will celebrate Read Across America Day with First Lady Michelle Obama reading “Green Eggs and Ham” at the Library of Congress at 11 a.m. She’ll be joined by actress Jessica Alba, Super Bowl champ Donald Driver, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and others.
Shall we say today is “Seuss-er-ific”?
I LOOOOOVVVVEEE Dr. Seuss! Unfortunately my duaghter hasn’t taken to it yet. Maybe if I read her ‘Green Eggs and Ham’. She doesn’t like ‘Cat in the Hat’ because she thinks the cat is mean!
