The Lorax

I am so excited for the Lorax to come out in theaters this Friday. The books is great!  I read it to my class and son quite often.  I originally planned to have a Lorax pre-party before going to the movie this Friday, but my son has his first t-ball practice so I am going to hold out.  I have found some great ideas on Google and Pinterest, so I though I would share some of my favorites.

Happy Read Across America Day!

Today is Read Across America Day.  This day in classrooms is often a day that we celebrate Dr. Seuss (it's his birthday) and of course the fun of reading.  I thought today I would share my top ten Dr. Seuss quotes.  So here you go:

1. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not."
2. "You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"
3. "How did it get so late so soon?"
4."Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."
5."You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."
6. "Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more...."
7. "Oh, the thinks you can think!"
8. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
9. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
10."Think and wonder, wonder and think."

Cat in the Hat Pizza

Dr. SeussBeing a teacher and a mommy who loves to plan parties, I am already moving on from Valentine's Day and thinking ahead.  The next holiday in my books in Read Across America Day, March 2nd.  Many school-age celebrate this.  It is actually Dr. Seuess's birthday and in our class we spend the day celbrating it.  Last year in Family Fun magazine, I found a cat in the hat pizza.  Well, looking on the internet I found this picture of one:

I think I may try this.  What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book?  Mine is The Lorax, love the message it sends.
