Too Many Daves


Happy Birthday Dr. Suess, (march 2)
at school we do quite a bit  to celebrate his birthday, which was also the kick off of Read-Across-America. at Mary Eyre we had different guests come in to read to the kids, firemen, parents, and Joey Harrington! (I even took a wack at it and read the "Stinky Cheeseman") We also have a door decorating contest and since I have a door, I decorated it! Our theme has to involve a book or story and if you can incorporate Dr. Suess in, well, you're golden I chose the story "Too Many Daves" from the book "The Sneeches," a classic if ever there was one. I thought it appropriate as I work with 150 kids each day. I had them each color a dave and then I drew a picture of Mrs. McCrave (who had 23 sons and she named them all dave) calling to her sons. We got honorable mention and thus won a round of ice cream sandwiches!
