Hope everyone had a great Dr. Seuss Birthday this week.
Just had to share this:

For Dr. Seuss' birthday this week, I read one of my old-
time favorites, Bartholomew and the Ooblek to grades 1-
3.  Many of my students were not familiar with this one.

When I read books with lots of dialogue, I change the
voices for each of the characters - so for the royal
magicians I used a really low, mystical, monotone
voice.  One student commented during the story:  "Those
guys sure have strange voices, don't they, Mrs.
Hawkins?"  It seems he was so immersed in the story, he
didn't realize "I" was "those guys."  I loved it!
