District Wide Information

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!  
Today is officially Dr. Seuss's 110th birthday.  In his honor, I continue to post information to encourage teachers, staff and students to develop a life-long love of reading.  Reading is more than achieving well in school or passing standardized tests.  It brings much more to our lives and makes us richer, thought provoking citizens.  The following article Read Across America and Dr. Seuss Themed Resources for Teachers provides several resources to celebrate this wonderful annual event.  There are resources for people working with young students as well as high school students to gain a better understanding of Dr. Seuss's work from Green Eggs and Ham, a fun story written using 50 words for beginning readers to the political side of Dr. Seuss's stories such as, Yertle the Turtle represented Hitler.  As we work to consider reading, the following article Reading 2.0 looks at how students are reading differently today.
