March is a month filled with a variety of activities including everything from March Madness, St. Patrick's Day, Easter Holidays, the first day of spring and spring holidays to Read Across America.  Many of our schools take this time to devote special attention to reading and develop special events that center on reading.  Read Across America celebrates the birthday of Dr. Seuss on March 3, 2008. If you have not planned your events, it is not too late to begin.  One very exciting special celebration for this year is the digital release of Horton Hears a Who providing animation, narration and sound effects that will be delivered from your computer screen.  This is free to teachers beginning February 25th!  Other links for Read Across America activities include:
