In just a little more than a week, March 2nd will roll around and we all know what that means—it’s Dr. Seuss Day! So what kinds of fun things do teachers do to celebrate the birth of this awesome author? If I tried to tell you, this blog would go on forever and ever and ever! Teachers are so creative! So to narrow my search, I decided to take a peek at the special ways teachers celebrate individual Seuss books. I’m hoping you’ll add some more ideas in the comment section below and maybe find a new idea in my list as well!
Proud to be a Reader!

Fox in Socks Day: wear mismatched socks, wear crazy socks

“You can find magic wherever you look.
Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” -Dr. Seuss
The week of March 2nd is always Dr. Seuss week at our school and our 2nd grade classes put on “Seussical Jr.” program. This is a shorten version of the “Seussical” musical. Also, we do dress up everyday for one of his books.
We do use several of the books listed above, but one that is not mentioned is the Sleep Book and our students/staff wear pajamas to school.
Barbara, The Seussical Jr. program sounds like so much fun! And I love the PJ idea for the Sleep Book. Maybe we’ll try that one here! :+)
Thanks for the suggestions!
