Dr. Seuss' Birthday

Ellie's school is celebrating Dr. Seuss's 105th birthday and Read Across America Week with lots of fun activities. On Monday everyone wore red and white and they had a special assembly. At the assembly each neighborhood perfomed something. Discovery Falls did a skit of 3 little kittens that lost their mittens. Ellie got to be a kitten and meow while some first and second graders read the poem. She was also very excited when the principal came in riding a moped with Thing 1 and Thing 2. They also had 'rock out to a good book' where music is played on the intercom and the students have to stop what they are doing and read a book until the music stops. Today was dress as your favorite character from a book day. She loves Junie B. Jones but didn't want to dress up as her because she is kind of goofy and she thought the kids would laugh at her. So she dressed up as fancy nancy. She has an actual fancy nancy dress but she didn't want to wear it to school (Ellie is very picky). She chose just to accessorize a dress with jewels and a crown. I also curled her hair and put it up all fancy. They are having a parade at school and are going to different classrooms to have stories read to them. They are also having a special snack of green eggs and ham. Then we have the rest of the week of for teacher work day and parent teacher conferences.

Just picked ellie up from school and her teacher was dressed as fancy nancy too! She even had striped leggings like ellie's tights. She took a picture, I will post it when she emails it to me.
