Read Across America Day was Thursday, March 2nd, and Mrs. MacGiffert's Pre-K class is exploring a collection of books written by the famous author Dr. Seuss. The class cooked Green Eggs in Ham on Friday. March 3rd and the students truly enjoyed cracking and scrambling the eggs and most of them were willing to give them a try and find out if they liked them!
