Dr. Seuss Day at Fitzgerald!

We had another successful Seuss celebration (say that ten times fast!) on Tuesday, March 2.  In our all school gathering in the gym, students were greeted by Fitzie the Panther and The Cat in the Hat, along with Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz and Thing 1 and Thing 2.  The Man with the Yellow Hat and Curious George were also there!  Students learned that the Cat is not very responsible.  Luckily, Responsibility is this month's CORE value.  Ms. Kelly and some 5th grade students acted some skits demonstrating responsibility.  We talked about responsibilities inside and outside of school and learned that teachers have a lot of responsibilities outside of school!  Students had to guess which teacher:  takes dance lessons twice a week, sings Karaoke, is a super Mom, has a pet tortoise named Abe or teaches an exercise class at 6am.  Ms. Darcy ended our gathering with a read aloud of A Fine Fine School by Sharon Creech.  The Cat learned a LOT about responsibility today and we hope the students did too!

After the gathering, students in grade 3-5 read to students in grades K-2 during a schoolwide DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time.  Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!
