Activities began with a 2-day long Dr. Seuss Trivia Game, and winners from each class on both days in Grades K – 4 won a special Dr. Seuss pencil. Students chose their books and favorite parts within the books and their title page was scanned to create “mini-books”. Students in all grades then wrote about their favorite part on their “mini books”. On Thursday, Mrs. Chamberlin, the principal at CCS, drew a winner from each grade and a guest reader came to the school on Friday and read their favorite book or chapter to culminate the week’s activities. Sylvia Percy, the school’s talented art teacher, created a fuller than life-size Cat in the Hat, who welcomed children as they entered every morning and stood next to a billboard that announced daily happenings around the activities.
