March 2, 2011 was Read Across America day in celebration of a author who changed how children read. Many children first learn their ABC's because of Dr. Seuss, I know I did! Dr. Seuss has written many books that have made us think, he uses words that we have never heard before, and he helps build fluency with his unbelievable rhyming pattern. On March 2 SMES celebrated Dr. Seuss and his achievements with a birthday party. Many grade levels took part in the celebration by acting out some of Seuss' stories. At the end of the celebration the kindergarten classes sang Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss! Here some pictures from the celebration:
