94 students attend Dr. Seuss' Birthday Party
Last Night was Dr. Seuss' Birthday Party. 94 students attended a story rotation, had milk and cookies, entered in a raffle for 9 prizes including special activities with teachers and gift certificates from neighborhood restaurants, and finally, our Dr. Seuss film festival. We watched movies directed by Mrs. Lajaunie, Mrs. Fournier and her student library crew, Fournier's Friends, Ms. Bell, and 5th grader Andy James. We ended with our epic version of "Horton Hears a Who." Check out our last entry for a preview of it and more information on the stars.

Dr. Seuss' birthday party tomorrow night!
Tomorrow, the library is throwing Dr. Seuss a birthday party! Meet us here on Tuesday, 3/6/12, at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria. We'll enjoy a silly Seussy story rotation, followed by cookies and milk. Then, we'll dim the lights and enjoy some short films based on the work of Dr. Seuss, directed and starring Forest North students and staff! Please watch this preview for the staff's version of "Horton Hears a Who." The preview is a Photostory, but the actual film itself is entirely live action and the directorial debut of Mrs. Lajaunie! Watch the whole movie tomorrow night!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday
March 3rd is Read Across America, a holiday celebrating reading! It also happens to coincide with Theodor Suess Geisel's birthday!
Dr. Seuss is a special favorite of Mrs. Fournier because she is currently serving on the Geisel Book Award Committee, choosing the best book for newly independent readers published in 2010.
To celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America, we had a Seuss-a-thon here in the library. Readers from our school volunteered to keep Dr. Suess going all day long. Readers included Mrs. Lajaunie from the office, Ms. Barbara the lunch monitor, Principal Jacobs, Assistant Principal Decker, and Ms. Potral from P.E. We had a blast reading to each class.
Mrs. Rhea, Mrs. Fournier and Mrs. Meyer pretended to be Thing #1, the Cat in the Hat and Thing #2.
To make the celebration extra special, we encouraged students and faculty to dress up in their Suessiest gear with stripes, polka dots and any other related items.
Mrs. Fournier and Mrs. Perkins, the star-bellied sneech!
We had a great time reading and loving books together. For more information about Read Aross America, check out http://www.nea.org/readacross.
