“Our favorite unit has definitely been learning about art mediums! We even incorporated Dr. Suess during Read Across America Week in this weeks lesson! In honor of Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ birthday, our little artists are bringing their teachers to life with bright, fun, and whimsical colors! Inspired by the playful and imaginative world of Dr. Seuss, the children are using their teachers as their canvas, celebrating the joy of reading and their own creativity. This fun activity not only honors Dr. Seuss' legacy but also encourages our young learners to explore their artistic talents and express themselves in bold, beautiful ways. Here's to books, imagination, and the wonderful teachers who inspire us every day!”

How do we review and rate each book?
We rate in terms of its likeness to our core values: KINDNESS, WELLNESS, INNOVATION, and FUN. Five feathers will be given for the core value we think each book best represents.
