Monthly Archives: March 2011

March 2 is Read Across America Day.   Many of our schools and libraries are participating.  This sounds like a great idea to a book lover like me. 

Whether you read on paper or on screen, pick up a book and read…if you can read with a child that’s even better!  This is an annual celebration that takes place around the time of Dr. Seuss’ birthday.  You can read more about it at the National Education Association’s web site.

I plan to read one of my Dr. Seuss books just for fun.  What will you be reading?

As I turn the calendar page this morning I circle a few dates.  March brings daylight savings time, my youngest son’s 26th birthday, and the first day of Spring.  

Sometime this month we should begin to notice the longer days, shorter nights, and warmer weather.  I am anxious to spend time outside on my porch without a snow shovel or bag of ice melt. 

What does the beginning of March mean to you?  I am excited!
