as i slowly wandered through the kitchen this morning, i heard a happy little 5-year old girl running across the floor, jumping up and down, singing, "it's jammy reading day! it's jammy reading day! la la la la la! jammy's and reading ... all. day. long!"
in celebration of the lovely dr. suess' birthday, march 2nd has become a day of reading awareness across the nation. the nea (national education association) offers activities, lesson plans, printables, book recommendations, and SO much more for teachers, librarians, parents, and kids to share in their love of reading.
reading is such an important part of educating our children—and anything we can do to motivate them should be greatly promoted (especially if it means our kids get to go to school in their jammy's and read all day)!
take a few minutes to read with your children (or the children in your life) today and every day. i can't even begin to share how powerful such a simple, easy, and FUN can be. reading is a perfect chance to spend quality time with your children and keep their minds busy, at the same time! if you don't already read with your kids every day ... what a great day to start! one book a day makes a HUGE impact!read, Read, READ, R-E-A-D!

Miss Jen: I like your blog style. I am intrigued by your goals to accomplish before thirty. I wish I could have chickens and cows...silly LA ordinance! My only comment is the light green writing is hard to read on the darker green back ground. But I love the layout! I am now following you!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeletedr. seuss came to my school when i was in first grade (maybe 1985 or 86?) and read us a story. we ate green eggs and ham to celebrate.
ReplyDeletethanks, heidi! i switched up some of the text and link colors, so hopefully that helps! as for my goals ... i think the husband thinks i'm crazy! but, how much trouble could one little cow be? ... right? ;)
ReplyDeletejulie—your school was way cooler than mine. i think all i got was a dr. suess bookmark. although, some of the hot lunch foods could possibly have been considered 'green.' that's what you get for growing up 'bothell.' :)
