Read Across America

Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss!?!  Read Across America is a great way to share how Dr. Seuss created stories that are silly but have important meanings.  I mentioned previously that the National Education Association has many great resources, including tips for parents, Dr. Seuss inspired recipes, and so much more!

I wanted to share some of my favorite Dr. Seuss books and activities that you can use in your classroom!
I created two Pinterest boards for Read Across America and Dr. Seuss Activities.  They include worksheets, recipes, read-alouds, and so much more!

  

Yum!  Fishy cupcakes!  The Foodista has a recipe to create these delicious cupcakes.

Another favorite activity for students is having them draw pictures of Dr. Seuss quotes.

 And like Dr. Seuss said, "Fun is good."

Have a fun Read Across America!  

Read-Alouds

Read-alouds are an important part of the reading block.  Fortunately for me, my district provides us with read-alouds and lesson plans based on different themes.  They are great, diverse books.  However, sometimes I want to choose the books!  (Especially, my all-time favorites!)  I have found a Pinterest Board that provides links for read-aloud books on the internet, a blog that shares different read-alouds throughout the year, and another great blog Two Teachers Who Read Alot that shares excellent read-alouds.  I love the World Wide Web!  There are so many resources available to those that have the time to look! 

Here are some YouTube videos of read-alouds!  Happy reading!
