Celebrate
the 106th Birthday of Children's Author and Illustrator Dr. Seuss
with Slaybaugh Primary School!
Coming March 2, 2011 -- Dr. Seuss's 107th birthday! Initially
created as a one-day event to celebrate reading on Dr. Seuss'
birthday, NEA's Read Across America has grown into a nationwide
initiative that promotes reading every day of the year. Here at
Slaybaugh Primary School we will have a reading celebration
during the week of February 27-March 2, 2011. Visit the official
NEA Read Across America Website and stay tuned for announcements,
activities, and ideas for joining the biggest birthday bash of
2011.
We have many activities planned, including:
The Author/Illustrator
team Peter Maloney and Felicia Zekauskas will come present to the
children at Slaybaugh Primary School on Thursday, March
1, 2011. Their books will be available at a nice discount, and of
course Peter and Felicia will autograph them.
Guest Readers
- During our Read Across America celebration we will have guest
readers from Fernwood Avenue Middle School National Junior Honor
Society visit all of our classrooms on Tuesday, February 28, 2011.
It is important to connect a love and joy for reading to the need
for it in your everyday life.
Ready, Set,
Read Night will take place on Tuesday evening at the Slaybaugh
Primary School. The theme is luau, so be sure to come decked out
in your Hawaiian best!
We will have
a week of dress up days: Tuesday - Wear your Hawaiian best;
Wednesday - Wacky Wednesday; Thursday - Pajama Day; Friday - Red,
White & Black Day
.
Seussville is a fun website that includes a
biography of Dr. Seuss and fun games for kids to play!
The Dr. Seuss web page is another good
site with plenty of links to find out more about the life
and works of Dr. Seuss!
