Read Across America – Place Your Vote

Read Across America

Although Dr. Seuss’s birthday is March 2, the Hay Springs Elementary celebrated on Thursday.  Joining them were members of National Honor Society. The high school students read Dr. Seuss books and lead activities related to the various titles.

The pre-school and kindergarten enjoyed One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and created their own fish bowls complete with handprint fish.  After listening to Cat in the Hat Comes Back each student made their own “Cat in the Hat” hat.

The first and second grade heard Cat in the Hat, then told what they would do if Thing One and Thing Two came to their house.  After reading about the fantastic animals in If I Ran the Zoo, the students created their own fantastic animals and put them in zoo cages.

Third, fourth, and fifth started out listening to To Think I Saw it All on Mulberry Street in which a boy imagines all kinds other things he saw on his way home from school. They then drew pictures of amazing things that might be seen on Baker Street filling up a mural on the wall outside Mrs. Strotheide’s room.  They finished the day with Oh, the Places You Go.  Each students created their own bucket list of places to go and things to see and things to do.

Checkout the fish bowls, zoo animals, and Baker Street mural in the library during Parent Teacher Conferences.  Also check out our decorated doors and vote for your favorite one.
