Dr Seuss Day

I think that we have mentioned previously that the American's like to celebrate everything that moves and today was no exception with "wear a hat to school day" to celebrate Dr Seuss birthday - he would have been 108 years old this year. So ours, of course, got creative and made their own hats. C found a poem about taking tadpoles for a walk and so created a top hat with tadpoles swimming on top, and G was more traditional with a Mad Hatter tea party hat from Alice in Wonderland with a door mouse and everything (I don't know what we will do when the cardboard runs out!). Fortunately (although not from his perspective I think) I had signed M up for supervisory duties at Monday before school chess club so he managed to oversee both hats arriving in one piece. The girls enjoyed many Dr Seuss activities and it all tied in quite nicely with us having seen the Lorax at the cinema the weekend before - good film but we are still answering C's questions on what it all means...........
