READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK / Dr. Seuss @ GRACE 2016

Mrs. Carol Gehringer
Media Center

GRACE Christian School will celebrate the 112th anniversary of Dr. Seuss' birthday (on March 2, 2016). We will observe Read Across America Week from March 2nd-March 10, 2016.

We will start off  with a reader's theater salute to Dr. Seuss over our PA system, with the help of three 6th graders.

Sometime during our observance, all our 6th graders read a Dr. Seuss book to our three Kindergarten classes, as well as our TK classes -- this is a tradition we started a few years ago and both grades love doing it.

Our TK-3rd grade students will participate in a Cat-in-the-Hat Incognito Activity, taking a picture of the infamous Cat in the Hat and helping him to be at GRACE incognito. The students' work will grace our halls by the school store.

Our older students will be invited to solve the Seuss Mystery in the library. A crime scene will be set up and clues will be provided. We'll see if our sleuths can solve the mystery of who-done-it!

On Friday, March 5th, we will have a red-and-white stripe day. In honor of the Cat in the Hat, we will wear red and white stripes, or red and white. Cat in the Hat hats will be permitted.

Our media center will give out Seuss surprises to all the classrooms in honor of Dr. Seuss. Ms. Lisa in the lunchroom promises a special Seuss treat sometime during the week.

As usual, we posted photos of our teachers and staff holding one of their favorite Seuss books, in addition to Seuss banners and posters throughout the school.

Our final day of day, we will have a flashlight read in the gym at the end of the day. We will assemble for carpool early, turn on our flashlights, turn off the lights, and read a book for 15 minutes.

Looking forward to celebrating with you!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!

Mrs.Boyd's Book -- SLEEPSINGING -- is still available for purchase!

Mrs. Carol Gehringer
Media Coordinator

Did you miss your chance to get an autographed copy of SLEEPSINGING, written by Lynn Fowler (a former GRACE parent) and illustrated by our own Mrs. Boyd (TK6 art teacher)?

We still have copies available for purchase in the library!! 

Books will be $15.00, with a third of the proceeds going back to GRACE!

Mrs. Boyd will be glad to sign and personalize any books

SLEEPSINGING is a sweet book about a little girl who loves singing and sings all the time, even in her sleep (much to her brother's dismay).  Look for nods to GRACE on some of the pictures!

Contact me for more details - Mrs. Carol Gehringer (cgehringer@gracechristian.net).
