Spring is finally here, and the Kindergarten students are as busy as ever in the classroom! This month is Reading Month, and what better way to spring into March than to spend some time embracing literacy. At school we will be involved in several exciting activities that engage your child in reading such as celebrating with Bring a Book to School Day, observing Dr. Seuss’ birthday, and having a Reading Parade.

Hooked on Books
Here are some of Dr. Seuss’ books to consider reading:
Cat in the Hat
Dr. Seuss’ Sleep Book
Fox in Socks
Green Eggs and Ham
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!
If I Ran the Circus
Mister Brown Can Moo, Can You?
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
The Lorax
Hunches in Bunches
If I Ran the Zoo

As always, we encourage you and your children to practice reading and writing at home. It is essential that we work together to ensure the best education for our children!
