Dr.

Seuss Day Set Up: February 17, 2016

Dr. Seuss Day: March 2, 2016
Dr. Seuss week is something that Trace Crossings puts on every year to

highlight the work of Dr. Seuss. It is our job to help decorate the hallways. This year
the reading team decided to decorate different hallways like a different popular
book that Dr. Seuss wrote. They chose to do The Cat and the Hat, Horton Hears a
Who, The Lorax, etc. We were all required to sign up and work for a two hour shift
to come to Trace and work on the decorations. Our group for the day worked on
creating the hat in the picture beneath. It was as tall as the wall and took more time
to make than you would think. We worked well together and ended up having time
at the end to make Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Not Pictured). It was a productive day and
the team leaders really did a great job of communicating to us what they needed
done. I will look forward to seeing it all come together and displayed for the kids to
see during the week. Dr. Seuss day was a hit for all of the students. Each class
dressed up as a different character and went to the school-wide assembly. My first
grade class dressed up as The Cat in the Hat and they said that they loved the
assembly. I think that focusing on an author and his or her work in this way is a
great to motivate students to learn and I could tell that this Dr. Seuss week did this!
