Does the hat make me look taller? This was the quiet before the children came into the room. What a wonderful day it was at St. Mary's School reading to children as we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss.
The children heard books from Dr. Seuss most of the day. However, I was assigned to read a Yiddish folktale with a profound lesson. The book is entitled, It Could Always Be Worse. It had a powerful lesson that even the youngest of children were able to grasp. Margot Zemach shares a brilliant story about a wise rabbi who teaches a profound lesson to a man who thought his life was pretty tough. I highly recommend the book.
This picture from last year's celebration was just too good not to include again this year. Our teachers frequently go the extra mile to make learning a true joy for the students. To everyone in the field of education, thank you!
