Dr Suess is 105!

Monday is the 105th Anniversary of the birth of Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Suess, born 2 March 1905 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Besides being the most-read American children's author, Dr. Suess was an advertising illustrator; author of magazine articles and essays; television, stage and film writer; and political cartoonist.

Monday is a great day to be an elementary school teacher or a parent as there are lots of fun things to do with kids (or anybody!) to celebrate:

• Monday marks the beginning of National Read Across America Week, sponsored by the NEA;

• Make a Cat In The Hat hat

• Try some Thing One and Thing Two Relay Races

• Make a story sack;

• Serve green eggs and ham for breakfast

And, of course, enjoy lots of Suess.
