Today we are wrapping up Read Across America Week at school.  (As an elementary school librarian, Read Across America week is my favorite!  And who doesn’t love a good dress-up day?)  We celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and all things related to reading  all week long. In addition to getting our tongues-tied reading all those Dr. Seuss books, we had lots of fun dress-up days.

Monday was school-wide SUPERHERO day, since the theme of Read Across America this year is a superhero theme.  Then, on Monday night, we hosted a Family Fun Reading night.  There was cake and games and a book swap and crafts and a super photo backdrop…..all kinds of good family fun.

Second grade declared Tuesday “Hat Day.”  Libby was super proud to be reppin’ her Dad (wink, wink).

Wednesday, of course, was WACKY WEDNESDAY, school-wide.  (Just in case you are wondering, wacky clothes means wacky behavior in an elementary school <–insert wide-eyed emoji here!)

Thursday, 2nd grade had crazy sock day and we completely dropped the ball.  Libby and I both forgot to pick out crazy socks for her to wear.  Mom fail.

And Friday was my favorite dress-up day of all time: Pajama Day! Everyone wore their pajamas to school, brought pillows, blankets, and books, and read all day!

We had a visitor from Chick-Fil-A on Friday as well, to help encourage reading.  And, you know, eating chicken 🙂

If you’ve never read a Dr. Suess book before, you should.
Our favorites are The Lorax, Daisy-Head Mazyie, and Oh, The Places You’ll Go.
I’d read them to you myself, if I could.

(How did you like that little rhyme?)(It’s my personal tribute to Dr. Seuss, himself!)
