Week of Febrary 25 - March 1

This week we are celebrating Read Across America week and Dr. Seuss' birthday with a lot of fun and fanfare. While it's fun to do some of these silly things, like silly socks days, the focus is really on a great author who changed how children's books were written and inspired a love of reading for future generations.

What book, by Dr. Seuss or any other author, is your favorite book? Why?

Today we learned about Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. We talked about their lives as slaves and leaders of the Underground Railroad. Many people consider them to be heroes. What qualities do you think a hero shows? Who is a hero to you?
