I love Read Across America Week because we take the full week to honor Dr. Seuss and celebrate Reading in a lot of fun cool ways! In addition to dressing up each day I have several activities planned for the Library this week.
#1. Write the Room Center
I placed several Dr. Seuss books around the Library along with the FREE write the room card. Students love Write the Room! It is just like a scavenger hunt:) Write the Room sheets were placed inside a plastic sleeve and clipped to a clip board that I got by using my Scholastic reward dollars.

#2. iPad Center

Students took selfies using the Dr. Seuss Camera. They saved the picture to be used in the Storymaker app. I printed the pictures and may use them in a display or turn them into bookmarks.
#3 Seuss Stack the Hat STEM Challenge

I cannot wait for the students to try this one!
I love my Dr. Seuss area! Our talented Music Teacher made the wreath for me out of an old Dr. Seuss book.
These are just a few of the centers going on in the Library this week. What is everyone else doing?
