Dr. Seuss is on the Loose at Stevenson Primary

If you work in a school, you don't have to have me tell you that last week was Read Across America week. If you work in a primary school, Dr. Seuss basically drives instruction during the first week of March. And that's a good thing.

There were themed days.

Crazy socks to celebrate Fox in Socks.

Wear green for Green Eggs and Ham.

Hats for Cat in the Hat.

Mustaches for The Lorax.

Our school was flooded with guest readers, 

including our school superintendent and several Jacketeers.

Our principals got in on the fun.

One of my favorite pictures from an earlier Read Across America week,

with me as the Cat and my library assistant and her daughter as Things 1 and 2.

This year, I wore last year's birthday gift from my wonderful sister. The perfect shirt to wear while reading the magnificent Green Eggs and Ham.

Love, love, love Dr. Seuss.

Don't forget to vote in Dr. Seuss's Battle of the Books. For every vote received, First Book will receive $1 (up to $10,000).

Did you celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday last week?

What is the Sunday Salon? Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them,and they're all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book. Click here to join the Salon.

The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news and recap the past week.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week. 

 It is now being hosted here.

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which you can share the books you've acquired.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between!  This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is now being hosted at The Book Date.
