TARGET: READ ACROSS AMERICA

[Wendy Carroll <wcarroll@RPPS.NET>]

Dear Fellow Librarians:

This is my 2nd year in a public school and I'm trying to come up with some
activities for Read Across America week.

I am in 2 schools, both K-6.  Last year I dressed up everyday in my own
homemade Dr. Seuss costume and I read a different book at each grade
level, we did various activities, such as made a Daisy hat, word searches,
created our own goofy characters for Hooray for Diffendoofer Day, colored
with little ones.

As a school-wide activity, we had guest readers - the principal,
superintendent, and police officers.  We also had a cake, sold Dr. Seuss
hats, some classes had green eggs & ham.  A teacher mentioned that in the
past they have door decorating in each classroom.

What I am looking for is any other ideas that anyone has used that they
might recommend, for schoolwide and for library classes.  I see each class
for 40 minutes.

Thank you very much.
