On March 2ND it was a very exciting day in the Barn! It was second grade's "Move-up Day", the 100Th day of school and Dr. Seuss' 106Th birthday! While the second graders were busy learning what life would be in third grade, the first graders were having their own special celebration. They started out the afternoon with a guest appearance from the "Cat in the Hat"! (Poor "Horton the Elephant" was home with a cold, so couldn't join in the fun.) The children listened to a story from Dr. Seuss entitled My Many Colored Days and then created a class version of the same book. Each child created his/her own "Cat in the Hat" and had fun answering trivia questions and puzzles from favorite Seuss stories. The afternoon concluded with birthday treats in honor of Dr. Seuss followed by a video of one of his classic stories. It was great fun to celebrate a favorite author on this afternoon!
