Hicksville Schools Celebrate Dr. Seuss
Elementary schools held fun, educational activities that paid homage to the works of the famous children's author while promoting literacy.
From Hicksville School: In celebration of Dr. Seuss’ recent birthday, elementary schools in the Hicksville School District held fun, educational activities that paid homage to the works of the famous children’s author while promoting literacy and other subjects in a fun way.
East Street Elementary School held a week of activities that included a “Crazy Hat Day” and a “Wacky Hair Day,” with many students replicating the hairdos of the famous Dr. Seuss Who characters. Students enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books throughout the week in accordance with different themes of the day.
Students in Christine Moir’s fourth-grade class at Old Country Road Elementary School enjoyed some green eggs and ham and assorted colored goldfish snacks while reading “Green Eggs and Ham” and “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” They also made Oobleck (based on the book “Bartholomew and the Oobleck”) from scratch and played a ball toss game using handmade, Cat in the Hat red and white hats for the basket. Students honed their math (graphing and fractions), science (states of matter) and literacy skills through these activities, and had fun. Every year schools throughout the country coordinate fun, Dr. Seuss-themed activities in accordance with Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2.
