Seuss Birthday

Well, well, well... in case you haven't heard, with all the hype about The Lorax and all, today is Seuss's birthday! Yep, that masterful story-spinner was born on March 2, 1904, making this his 108th birthday :)

Last year, I posted some of my favorite Seuss quotes, and some celebration ideas for all the Seuss fanatics out there (click to view). This year, I found some ideas online and I wanted to share the links with you....

First up - this awesome Happy Birthday poem I found on just4teachers (it's really not you know ;-):

Now that you're in the spirit, head over to foodyourway and check out their collection of Seuss recipes and activities... like these cute little marshmallow treats:

The crafty crow has a wonderful selection of ideas pulled together, like these little finger puppets for you & the kids to make (would make great pencil toppers too!):

And, now, we all know Seuss is amazing for little peeps learning to read, right? Well, this link is an every day treat: visit montessoritidbits for Dr. Seuss books listed by reading levels! I love this idea because, by giving your child a book to read at a level that meets his ability, you increase his confidence. This will instill a love of reading (especially when combined with the Seuss-master!) and as he moves along through the more difficult books, he'll become a more adept reader.... and have fun doing it!


And above all, remember:
