📚💚 Read Across America Week in Kindergarten! 💚📚
Mrs. Sockey’s Kindergarten class had a Seuss-tastic celebration for Read Across America Week today! After reading Green Eggs and Ham, students put on their Cat in the Hat hats and enjoyed their own green eggs and ham snack together.
There were lots of smiles, laughter, and maybe even a few brave taste testers as students brought this classic Dr. Seuss story to life. Fun activities like this help our young Lions build a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
Great job, Kindergarten! 🦁📖
