 Dr. Seuss. What an amazing author and illustrator. This week is Dr. Seuss week and what that means is that I'm placing all of my Dr. Seuss books in a very important place, right up front and center, up on a window shelf, or even on a little throne. These books are so important this week. The main thing I want my students to learn this week is to love to read, read, read. Now Dr. Seuss was a major influence on my experience when I grew up learning to read and I would love to pass along this passion to my students. So of course I get all of the books I can, check them out from your school library, check them out from a public library, put them in a place of importance. Today my students all came to school with a hat on because I was reading the 500 hats of Bartholomew Covens and my students were able to enjoy the lesson wearing ahead of their own. Each of Dr. Seuss books has an important lesson for each of our students to learn. We also talk about the lesson each week, excuse me, each day during our Dr. Seuss week and that brings such an important element that can connect them with this author and illustrator that is so unique to our time. Try a Dr. Seuss week in your classroom.
