This Friday is one of our favorite holidays! March 2nd is the birthday of beloved children's author, Dr. Seuss. Schools and libraries all over the United States will be holding special Read Across America celebrations to promote reading. As teachers, we ask everyone to participate in this worthwhile cause. Take the opportunity to read and enjoy!  Read to a child in your life. Donate books to hospitals and homeless shelters. Resolve to make March 2 the first of many days you volunteer to read at a school, afterschool program, community center, library, or daycare facility.  You can make a difference to future generations of readers.

Here are some links to two of our favorite Dr. Seuss apps and activities. 

Oceanhouse Media makes amazing, interactive apps featuring the Dr. Seuss books. We highly recommend them. Look for the free lite versions of Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham to try out.

Random House has a fun interactive site that has great games and resources for kids, parents and teachers. Love the sound effects!
