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!

Class Resources


I was reading articles in my Diigo Library and came across a great website

It has many resources for classroom teachers.  I found this website because it had reviews of Common Core State Standards apps.  It has a link to books being read by actors online.  It is called StoryLine Online; you can watch the videos through YouTube.  If you can't access YouTube in your school, they referred a website called SchoolTube.  SchoolTube lets you listen to books being read and provides many other educational videos.  It also has links for educational games for students.
