Read Across America



Theodore Seuss Geisel
Dr. Seuss
Theo LeSeig

No matter what you call him...he is a great author who penned over 50 books!  Our school as many other schools across the United States participated in "READ ACROSS AMERICA" which is by the National Education Association.  Read Across America

In our school, there were three main activities!  Each day had a clothing inspiration based on one of his books. 

Fox in Socks
Monday February 26—Wear your silly socks
Cat in the Hat
Tuesday February 27—Wear a fun hat
Wacky Wednesday
Wednesday February 28—Wear mismatched/backwards clothes
Theodore Thursday
Thursday March 1— Dress up as your favorite Dr. Seuss Character
Sleep Book
Friday March 2—Wear your pajamas or comfortable clothes (no slippers)


The title teacher and librarian created Dr. Seuss trivia on the library windows.  I designed a timeline of 50 Dr. Seuss and Theo LeSeig books.  This was so much fun finding new to me Dr. Seuss and Theo LeSeig books to read with the students and share with the staff!

In STEAM, each grade level did a variety of Dr. Seuss inspired activities. 

I created two centers - truffula trees and LEGO patterns based on ideas found on Pinterest.

Other classes explored Seussville and Lorax on the computer!

Kindergarten watched "Ten Apples Up on Top" on YouTube and built towers out of KEVA planks, colored 1-100 pages, and made LEGO patterns


Inspiration links from Pinterest - LEGO PATTERNS1-100 color sheets, and PINTEREST

Plus I have listed two products on Teachers Pay Teachers - STEMbrarian
