Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2 and it is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that celebrates the importance of reading. This date was chosen to coincide with the birthday of a famous children’s author, Dr. Seuss. Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. Seuss is one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time.

In honor of Read Across America Day, Mrs. Kline has planned all sorts of fun activities for us on Friday (including a special visit from author, Kim Baker).

In your response, explain why it is important to read. How is reading helpful, how can it be fun, why do we learn to read? What is a favorite book you've read lately? Why did you enjoy it?

February 11th- National Inventor's Day

In recognition of the great contributions that inventors have made to the world, National Inventors Day is celebrated on February 11. This date was chosen because Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. Thomas Edison was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman and is known as one of the most prolific inventors of all time. Edison invented more than 1,200 items, including the light bulb and phonograph.

What do you think is the most important invention of all time? Why? (Remember to write at least 5 thoughtful sentences.)
