Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' Birthday!

His books are well known and well loved at all of the CMLC schools. To celebrate his birthday, each year we do a Pajama day and sometimes serve a vegetarian "Green Eggs" afternoon snack with dyed green yogurt and a vanilla wafer "yolk"! Today, kiddos and teachers brought in their favorite Dr. Seuss books and shared them during show and share. Our creative teaching team did different art projects such as coloring our own Hats from Cat in the Hat, making hand-print flowers from The Lorax, hand-print Thing 1 and Thing 2, and more!


Dr. Seuss Books have helped our teachers bring up important teaching points in classrooms, and shows a fun and different way to teach them. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish helps early learners understand their colors and numbers in a fun and rhyming way, Green Eggs and Ham brings up different foods in different cultures,  The Lorax lends itself to talking about Global Warming, and Marvin K. Mooney:Will You Please Go Now! talks about how he wants to be alone and it is ok to have those emotions!

Thank you families and teachers for bringing in your treasure trove of Dr. Seuss books! It was a great way to celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday and to read in our PJs all day!
