Dr. Seuss' Birthday

On Monday, March 2, 2009, we'll celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday at Charlestown Elementary School. Please have children wear red and white that day and bring their favorite Dr Seuss book.

The NEA Read Across America sponsors activities across the country. Before vacation the children in Charlestown collected 'gently used' children books to be donated to other children in need through a NEA program.

We invite our parents to join us in celebrating by taking the time to read with a child on March 2nd. Each family that reads that day will receive a special NEA certificate. So grab your favorite Dr Seuss book and join the fun and read!

Reading

Welcome to reading at Charlestown Elementary School. Learning to read is one of the biggest challenges of young students. Reading every day at home is an important part of a child's success.

In February we celebrate Groundhog's Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, and Black History Month. Books can open the doors to adventures, so curl up and read on a cold winter's day.
