Sheldon East Elementary kindergarteners had a fun-filled celebration during Dr. Seuss Week!
Students tried green eggs just like in Green Eggs and Ham, created their own Cat in the Hat hats, and graphed their favorite Dr. Seuss books. It was a wonderful week of reading, creativity, and hands-on learning!
