We had a great day celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday! We have been reading books by the famous author and learning about him as a person. One of the lessons we talked about was perseverance. We learned that Dr. Seuss took his first book to 37 different publishers before it was published. This led to a great conversation about what it would be like without his books and what tasks are challenging for us. Discussions about tying shoes, riding a bike without training wheels, and reading were all things we decided not to give up on.
It was super fun to see so many students dressed in character today! We celebrated this afternoon with a read and feed in the gym.
We also had Mr. Junge and Mrs. Garbers read to us this afternoon. Mr. Junge was dressed as Huckleberry Finn. The students loved learning about his book character. They were especially curious about why Mr. Junge was barefoot. It was fun for me to listen to Mrs. Garbers read to students, too. For those of you who don't know, she is my grandma. She has been the best at character voices for as long as I can remember. I used to love crawling up on her lap and having her read to us. It makes my heart melt to get to watch her read the same way today and to see that she has the same effect on the students in my class.
