Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!
March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The NEA celebrates it as Read Across America. But in my room it is Diffendoofer Day. We read the good Doctors last book, Hooray for Diffendoofer Day, completed by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Lane Smith. We make huge Cat in the Hat hats.
“All schools for miles and miles around
Must take a special test,
To see who’s learning such and such -
To see which school’s the best.
If our small school does not do well,
Then it will be torn down,
And you will have to go to school
In dreary Flobbertown.”
