Read Across America Day at Lincoln School

WESTFIELD, NJ — Lincoln School kindergarten students in Mrs. Corcoran’s class celebrated Read Across America Day on March 2 by practicing the word family of “at” and other rhyming skills.

Wearing their “at” hats and displaying their favorite Dr. Seuss books are (pictured from left) Madelyn Qualshie, Sophie Fernandez , Alen and Laila Mehmedovic, Gabriella Panarese and Evan Washbourne.

The children learned about Dr. Seuss's life as a child and how it influenced him to become a children's writer and illustrator. The kindergartners also were exposed to a wide variety of books with the support of Westfield parents who led small group readings of the books.
