Hay Springs Elementary 1st graders went to visit the 4th grade class to read books to them to celebrate Dr. Seuss day! Held annually on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known by the pen name by which he authored children’s books: Dr. Seuss. During the 1990s, the National Education Association advocated for a day to celebrate reading all over the United States. In 1998, it started Read Across America and decided to hold it on the same day as Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
Rather than feeding the mass panic by being uninformed, please take the time to do a little research on your own concerning things you read on the internet.

The Sixth Grade has been learning about Architecture and Construction. They constructed model houses that are 1320 sq. ft and include two or three bedrooms (each with a closet), one or two bathrooms, and no frills. They started by creating a scale drawing on a sheet of graph paper. They added walls and a room to finish the house. The slideshow below includes the five models and their features. Take a look and then VOTE on the one you like best.
