For the week of March 4-8, Winthrop Avenue School celebrated Dr. Seuss’ March 2 birthday with extra reading time and fun, Seuss-themed activities.

Each day at noon, students “Stopped Everything Under the Shining Stars” to read their favorite books. In addition, students accessorized with colorful socks and crazy hats on Crazy Socks Day and Crazy Hat Day to celebrate the writing of “Fox in Socks” and “The Cat in the Hat,” two of Dr. Suess’ most popular books. Prior to going home for the weekend, the entire school participated in a Seuss Switch-A-Roo, in which teachers traded classrooms and read their own favorite Dr. Seuss books to students.
