The legendary Dr. Seuss’s birthday was on March 2nd and all grades participated in the celebratory activities, combining literacy with art, in the library. Pre-K made hot air balloons to replicate the balloons in the story, Oh the places you’ll go!; Kindergarten recreated The Lorax character using brown lunch bags; First grade decorated Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat hats; and Second and Third grades read two of Dr. Seuss’s Lost Stories– The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories (a collection of seven rare illustrated stories by Dr. Seuss published by Random House on September 27, 2011, but originally published in the early 1950s). They are quite unique and are considered a literary treasure. Fourth and Fifth grades learned that Dr. Seuss was also an avid political cartoonist, patriot and a strong critic of World War II. He made his views and opinions known through a whole slew of political cartoons published in magazines and students were asked to decode his views based on his political cartoons. To continue the fun, some students joined me in dressing up! To further sweeten the birthday fun, classes received popcorn (Hop on Pop), Swedish fish candy and goldfish crackers (One Fish, Two Fish, Three Fish) collectively, to further make the annual event memorable for students!
