Hi Dawn,
Thanks for the mention of NEA’s Read Across America and for your appreciation of the importance of reading to children. NEA’s Vice President Lily Eskelsen recently wrote a very inspirational blog post that really drives home the point.

I hope you get the chance to check it out: http://lilysblackboard.org/

Thanks again,
Kevin Hart, NEA

I had NOT heard about this. That’s pretty cool! Furthermore, we just bought some new Cat in the Hat pencils to begin our writing career with so we’ll have to debut them on Tuesday and read some Seuss.

Thanks for the head’s up!

This is so fun! I have a picture of Amanda with her Cat in the Hat hat made in first grade that I love, and Kyle’s class is supposed to dress in red and white and black on Tuesday to celebrate. And of course I’ll make an extra effort to do some reading here at home on that day. You can’t go wrong there!
