AES STUDENTS CELEBRATE DR. SEUSS' BIRTHDAY

(03/04/2009)

Kindergarten students enjoy wearing their special hats By Shirley Hupp Children may not know his real name, but they know what they like, and what they like is Dr. Seuss. The impact he had on books for children is an enduring one. Dr. Seuss' real name was Theodore Geisel. He was born in 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The plots of his books are entertaining and often teach a lesson, from the importance of taking responsibility for the earth and one another to learning what is really important. With their quirky characters and clever rhymes, Dr. Seuss books are great to read aloud. Arnoldsburg Elementary school children celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday March 2, with a special lunch, birthday snacks, and reading from his books. Eighteen students from Calhoun County High School's Learn and Serve Organization came to Arnoldsburg Elementary to read to the students. The students came with snacks, activities, and lots of enthusiasm. Other activities throughout the day included the reading of "Cat in the Hat" over the intercom by Mrs. Nemitz, "Green" Eggs and Ham at lunch, and an afternoon snack for each student provided by the PTO. Ms. Dotti reading "The Cat in the Hat" to the entire school Calhoun County High School Learn and Serve Organization (L-R) Front: Tim Sutro, Jeremy Conley; Middle: Ashley Conley, Talia Brady, Allison Gumbarevic, Kelsey Collins, Hannah Wilson; Back: Eli Dye, Ben Sims, Jordan Mace, Katie Rogers, Victoria Vineyard, Ashley Houchin, Tessa Baton, Emily Brady, Nikka Penson, Chelsey Ball, Kayla Boggs Theodore Geisel once said, "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells." If your brain cells need a wake-up call, try Dr. Seuss. Arnoldsburg staff and students would like to thank all who made this day a fun learning experience. Remember to read to your child everyday.
