Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!



To prepare for Dr. Seuss' upcoming birthday on March 2, we have been reading lots of his books in class and are going to continue doing lots of fun rhyming activities over the next couple weeks.  Here are some Dr. Seuss and rhyming resources on the internet for you to enjoy with your child:
