We celebrated by honoring the famous author Dr. Seuss. Although students have been selecting books from the classroom's collection of Seuss classics, I saved a few of my favorites for read alouds. The Sneeches, Horton Hatches an Egg and The Lorax are stories about unforgettable characters that we can learn from and have fun describing. Fortunately, we were able to extend our community helpers theme to the librarian in his honor.
Community helper discussions were focused on librarians and nurses. We continue to use adjectives to describe, character traits and tools used by each.
