Read Across America

Today is Read Across America Day, which helps celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday. Several people were asked to read to students at Woodland Elementary School. Niccole Caan and I read to students in the afternoon. I read my favorite Dr. Seuss book, "Sneetches." I also read "What Was I Scared Of?" The students were quick to understand the message that Dr. Seuss was trying to get across to his readers--that people should not treat others differently if they look different. The children asked lots of good questions. I told them my favorite music was country and I've been riding horses since I was five years old. Some of the children insisted on shaking my hand when I told them the most famous person I met was Barack Obama.
