Reading Across America Week

Dr. Seuss' birthday is on March 2nd, but our school was celebrating Big Art Day that day so our reading fun was moved to the following week. It is always a busy, but fun time to get to take a break from the chaos of the spring and enjoy books. Check out some of the activities below!

Teachers infused their lessons with Dr. Seuss. Ms. Davila used a different Seuss character each day to teach skills. Look at her amazing art work!

We had theme days all week. Monday was sock day for Fox in Socks. Tuesday was green day for Green Eggs and Ham. Wednesday was hat day for The Cat in the Hat. Thursday was college t-shirt day for Oh The Places You'll Go. I loved my flamingo socks!

 Second grade did a project on U.S. symbols so they got a visit from Lady Liberty herself to read a book about George Washington. Thanks Liberty Tax!

 On Thursday, we had a full morning of guest readers from KARLEE come to kindergarten and first grade. We are very grateful for these volunteers! 

 Thank you Jody Hyde Luna for supporting our school!

Grades 3rd-5th were treated to a visit from the fabulous author Becky Villareal to discuss her process for writing books.

Friday was our storybook character parade!

We had a bee and a lady bug flying around on Friday.

The specials' team plus our wonderful prek aide transformed into Hogwarts students. It was lovely to see that even though we may come from different houses, we can join together for a common cause. #ravenclaw 

The bee found Waldo!

Mary Poppins even flew in for the event!

3rd graders became dragons who are crazy about tacos.

Our office staff was replaced with Purplicious, Pinkilicious, a lucky lady bug, and the tooth fairy.

Pocahontas even sailed in to represent 5th grade.

Two of our favorite fairy tale characters popped in.

Oh, and we had book fair going on ALL week. It was crazy, but a great time.

I am already looking forward to next year's celebration and thinking of new, fun ideas. Thanks for supporting literacy Bradfield!
