Pre-K Celebrates Read Across America Day
Students learn about the importance of reading while honoring the birthday of Dr. Seuss
Students
in the district kicked-off the month of March by showing their
excitement for reading as participants in their school’s National Read
Across America Day Celebration. The National Education Association
created the initiative in March 1998 as a way to celebrate the
importance of reading, as well as to pay tribute to the birthday of
legendary children’s author Dr. Seuss.
And on March 1 and 2, district students did just that.
At
the Franklin, Hempstead Pre-K and Jackson Annex schools, elected
officials, physicians, retired and present district administrators and
teachers, and more visited classrooms throughout the day to read Dr.
Seuss books with students.
At the Early Childhood Center (ECC),
kindergarteners participated in activities that highlighted the
importance of reading, writing, counting and sequencing. This year’s
theme was “A Fish Out of Water,” which was selected in honor of the
children’s book by Helen Palmer Geisel. The book, which tells the story
of Otto the Fish and his caretaker, is also part of the Dr. Seuss
Beginner Books Collection. At the conclusion of the event, each class
was given a fish bowl with fresh water and a goldfish in it as a special
Dr. Seuss birthday party favor. Television news coverage from this
wonderful celebration was featured on WLNY TV 10/55 on March 2.
The
Hempstead Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Patricia
Garcia commend the building principals, teachers and staff in the
district for continuing unique efforts to emphasize the importance of
literacy to students.
