in all suess-ness

elementary schools across the country

celebrated the life & work of dr. seuss this week.

{his birthday is march 2nd}

ned and his friends 

ate green eggs & ham,

made giant paper hats,

and read lots of dr. seuss books.
          

they wore silly socks & inside-out shirts,

and created some suess-inspired artwork.

did you know that dr. seuss wrote in
anapestic tetrameter:

Anapestic tetrameter consists of four rhythmic units, anapests, each composed of two weak beats followed by one strong beat; often, the first weak syllable is omitted, or an additional weak syllable is added at the end. An example of this meter can be found in

"Yertle the Turtle":

"And today the Great Yertle, that Marvelous he

Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see."
