I started preparing for a Dr. Seuss-themed book fair last year. Although the snow has kept us from doing some of the activities that we planned to do, I still have high hopes that the rest of our Read Across America/Book Fair events will be successful.
My plan for the
One Fish! Two Fish!.. All for Books fundraiser went great with the Underwater theme that Scholastic has for the spring book fair.

We will be celebrating
Read Across America during the week of the book fair. I am looking forward to the main event when students and staff dress up as a favorite Dr. Seuss character. I haven't decided which character I'll be. I also don't know which character our principal will be, but donations will determine which character he will be for our Book Character Parade at the end of April. The donations will fund our AR incentives. The original plan was to have a door decorating contest. Students, staff, and visitors would make donations to the door of their choice. The winning class would get a book fair gift certificate for each student and teacher.

I ordered posters and a stand-up from
Upstart to decorate the media center. I used a display board to make a Thing 1 and Thing 2 cut-out for a photo op. I have seen some great props for Dr. Seuss-themed photo ops on Pinterest. Students will get one of the bookmarks that were also purchased from Upstart, when they buy books.
