ACS students in preschool and elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week as part of Read Across America – a national campaign that focuses on motivating children to be lifelong readers. On Monday, students wore crazy socks to school; 12th graders read Dr. Seuss books to elementary students on Tuesday; and for Wacky Wednesday, teachers, students, and staff dressed up in colorful, mismatched clothes, wigs, and hats. Students also celebrated their love of reading by eating green eggs and ham, listening to secret readers, and reading books showcased in the ACS school library.

Read Across America Week: Wacky Wednesday, Guest Student Readers, Cat in the Hat Day

ACS students and staff celebrated the joy of reading this week as part of the annual national “Read Across America” campaign. Elementary students dressed up for Wacky Wednesday on February 27, wearing colorful, mismatched clothes, wigs, socks, and shoes. Fifteen teachers and aides wore matching clothes as Dr. Seuss’s popular “Thing 1 and Thing 2” characters. On Thursday, there was a lot of laughter and smiles as 12th graders visited different elementary classrooms to read Dr. Seuss books to the students. Seniors Solomon Griffith and Rudy Dalinger read their favorite, “Fine Feathered Friends,” and seniors Rose Shaw and Lindsey Ash shared their favorite children’s stories. On Friday, students had fun doing creative, wacky classwork.  The students in Mrs. Reilly’s kindergarten class had green eggs and ham for snack and graphed the results of their taste test. Later, Mrs. Fosbenner’s 3rd grade students visited their class to read to them. It was all about making learning fun. To see additional photos, visit the ACS Facebook page.
