Poland North Preschool students celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a week full of activities, including Wacky Wednesday on March 2.

“Wacky Wednesday” is a book written by Dr. Seuss and this year Dr. Seuss’ birthday fell on a Wednesday, allowing students to celebrate appropriately. The students at Poland North came into school on March 2 with crazy hair and outfits. Some of the students also put crazy colors in their hair.

“We’re doing Dr. Seuss week and today is the craziest day. Yesterday was sock day, Monday was red fish, blue fish and tomorrow is going to be crazy hat day,” said Samantha Cox, the transitional kindergarten teacher.

There were students who dressed up in tutu’s, wore their clothes backwards and inside out, and had on mismatched outfits. The students celebrated Wacky Wednesday by reading Dr. Seuss books, including “Wacky Wednesday.” Cox joined in the celebration by wearing her hair in braids the stuck out the side of her head.

One of the students in Joy Bucci’s class also celebrated her own birthday during Wacky Wednesday. Bucci and her class had two celebrations making the day extra special.

The students looked forward to participating in Dr. Seuss week so they could show off their crazy outfits and learn more about Dr. Seuss.
