Union School Students Join in Read Across America

Celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday with a day of reading.

"There's a wocket in my pocket, there's a nink in the..."

Most kids in Ben Stern's third-grade class at Union School could recite the rhymes in the Dr. Seuss books the class read Friday. Stern's class and others at Union School spent the day reading the Seuss classics in celebration of the beloved author's birthday.

Union School students read independently and as a group outside the school library as students across the country did the same for Read Across America Day.

Librarian Patty Farrah provided the collection of Dr. Seuss books along with quizzes and reading certificates.

"We think this is the best way to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday," she said. "We think this is what he would have liked us to do."
