Next week, February 26-March 2nd, is Read Across America Week (in honor of Dr. Suess's birthday on March 2nd). At McKinley we like to do a week long celebration of books and Dr. Suess which a theme for each day. The schedule is as follows:
Monday- Fox in Socks Day: Wear crazy or mis-matched socks Tuesday- The Lorax moustache day: Come wearing a stick-on or drawn-on moustache Wednesday- Parade of Books: Choose a favorite book and dress up as a character or in some other way to represent the book. Make sure to bring the book as part of the costume. The students will join a special guest in a whole school parade around the school at 8:45. There are many good ideas online for book costumes that don't require you to purchase anything. Get creative! Thursday- Drop everything and read day: Students will carry their favorite books around for all indoor activities in preparation for "drop everything and read" announcements that will occur throughout the day. Friday- Dr. Suess trivia announcements: Throughout the day Dr. Suess book quotes will be announced over the loudspeaker and the first class to call with the name of the book wins prizes!
