Read Across America Day on Orcas celebrates Dr. Seuss

Published 3:43 pm Monday, February 27, 2012

Spend Read Across America Day on Friday, May 2, at Orcas Island Elementary School at 8:45 a.m.

The lineup includes a choral reading of a lost Seuss book by Mrs. Stolmeier’s third graders, teachers performing a Readers’ Theater, the honoring or first graders students exiting “Reading Recovery,” an all school sing with Mrs. Wright and classrooms that have met their February reading goals will have their teacher draw a book character name out of “Cat in the Hat’s” hat.  They will come dressed as that character on a special book day in March.

Come to the assembly and then visit a classroom as a guest reader. If you can’t make it, make sure and read with your child after school.

Whether you come to the assembly or not, make sure you read with your children.

And remember the words of Dr. Suess “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild to read with a child.”
