Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

March 2nd was Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)'s Birthday! This week, we shared a few Dr. Seuss stories. There was one common thread through all of them - Use your brain and Always do your best! This was perfect for the upcoming TAKS tests the next week. The stories we shared were Hooray for Diffendoofer Day, And to Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street, and Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Some of you even got to touch green oobleck!! (How to make Ooblek - 2 parts corn starch, 1 part water, green food dye; mix)
Hooray for Diffendoofer Day says the teachers have taught you the most important thing of all - "How to Think!" On the TAKS test, I know you used your brains to think and Prove It! Prove It!!
Happy Reading!
