The Early Childhood and Elementary are pleased to announce their annual, but upgraded,
Dr. Seuss’ Read A Thon, which will take place throughout the month of
March (March 4-29). The Elementary’s goal is for each student to read as
many books as possible throughout this month.

How does the New Read -A- Thon work?

Every time the student finishes a book the student must choose one activity
from the chart below, and present that activity to the teacher.

Do not forget to mention the title and author of the book you read.

These are short activities, they are not elaborate. (We want to make sure that
you actually read the book and understood what you read).

How can you present the activities?

• You can send your teacher a short video explaining one of the following activities below.
• You can conference with your teacher, explaining one of the following activities below.
• You may also present your book activity to the class.

Every time a book is read and signed off by your teacher, a sticker will be
added to a Ten Frame. For every 10 books, Dr. Seuss gets another stripe on
his hat.
