The entire school district in Chariton, Iowa was celebrating! Students and educators were celebrating reading and celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday! Thursday, March 2nd, marked the annual celebration of author Dr. Seuss's birthday as NEA members throughout the nation celebrated "Read Across America" in their classrooms. Pictured at left are Mrs. Brenda Gillaspy (with the hat), her 2nd grade homeroom, and South Central UniServ Director Jim Crotty (a.k.a.: Dr. Seuss).
Students and teacher alike got into the celebration mode as they all donned a Cat in the Hat hat. Pictured here (at right) celebrating literacy and the fun you can have with language are Mrs. Julie Blake and her Kindergarten class.
The last classroom that I had the chance to read in was Mrs. Claudia Owens' 1st grade. The students loved the repetition and rhythm of Dr. Seuss's work!
Thanks so much Chariton EA teacher/members for the work you do each day to bring the joy of literacy to your students!
At the end of the school day at Columbus Elementary, Mr. Crotty and I stopped in the classroom of Music teacher and Chariton EA president, Mrs. Jane Beatty. Jane, pictured at right, is the mastermind behind the great evening celebration that followed for all Chariton School District children and their parents at Van Allen Elementary. Thanks Jane for your leadership in and out of the classroom. We are lucky to have you as a leader on Team ISEA!
