Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
For this year's celebration of Read Across America (planned for March 2nd, Dr. Seuss's birthday), reading specialist Mrs. Vocatura and I decided to highlight the Dr. Seuss book Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? Not only did we love its message, but it tied in with the upcoming St. Patrick's Day!
Every class in the school enjoyed a read-aloud of the story, and students and staff were invited to wear green. It was a fun switch from the usual red-and-white, and lots of people joined in on the fun!

In addition, every student was given a blank shamrock to decorate and to write down something that shows that they are lucky. We loved reading all of their contributions!
In hindsight, I wish we had given a shamrock to each staff member to fill out (although we definitely would have needed to take over another bulletin board)! If I had created one, I'd have written I'm lucky because I have the most wonderful job, work beside an extraordinary team of dedicated people, and enjoy the most remarkable students!
Thanks for another wonderful celebration, Ashaway School!
