My Read Across America Snow Day!

One more post today, boys and girls! I know many of you are at home today because of the snow and ice! However, that's no excuse to not pick up a good book and read, read, READ! Sorry but I get very excited when I talk about my favorite thing to do in the entire world (next to eating honey)!

Do you know what Sunday was??? It was the birthday of my favorite author, Dr. Seuss! If we would have had school Monday, I am sure you would have done many fun things in your classroom to celebrate reading and all of the wonderful book written by Dr. Seuss. Well, Mrs. Sponaugle and I have a feeling that was going to happen, so we put our heads together and came up with a great idea.

We were going to read a book to ALL the students in West Virginia! And it would matter if we had a snow day, because we were going to tape ourselves reading the best book of all, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
Happy Dr. Seuss Day!

I got the camera all charged up while Mrs. Sponaugle found her book, then we went out to her classroom to read in her classroom library. She also brought along the Cat in the Hat, because that was one of Dr. Seuss' most successful books. Now I was going to argue with her about bringing him along, because cats are NOT my favorite animals (Mrs. Sponaugle has two cats that I do not like very much, but since they are "teacher's pets" we have to get along, even though they get away with hissing at me!). But Mrs. Sponaugle said the students would like to see him too, so I obliged.
What path will you choose?

Oh, the places you'll go!

I had so much fun reading "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" and I hope you like listening to the story! There is a special place on my blog, right under "The West Virginia Hills," where you can click and listen to it whenever you want! This link will also take you right to our video.

I hope you are staying safe and warm on your snow days, boys and girls. In the meantime, let books take you to special places that make you use your imagination...and think of Spring!

Kids, you'll move mountains!!!


Until next time...
