Read Across America

"Think and Wonder, Wonder and Think" - Dr. Seuss
Today is Read Across America Day. We celebrated this day at Eastin by inviting readers from our community to share their love of reading and experiencing a read through of a favorite book with our students. We were lucky enough to have visits from the fire department, the police department, the sanitation department, the District Attorney's office, BART, and so many more.
March 2 is Dr. Seuss' birthday. We enjoy the work of this great author as we read those books of a silly nature. Without him, we may not have had so much fun in literature. Enjoy these websites that support Dr. Seuss and reading:

Upcoming Events

Lunar Eclipse, Supermoon, Blue Moon: On Wednesday, January 31 we will experience a phenomena that hasn't happened since 1866. What does all of this mean? 

The Moon will pass into the Earth's shadow. This means that the Earth will be between the sun and the moon. It will cause the moon to take on a reddish color. Also, the moon will be the closest to Earth that it will ever be making it appear quite large. And if that isn't enough, it will be the second full moon in a month which is called a blue moon.

You can find out more about the moon in our library Dewey Number 523. 

You can learn more about the moon on these websites:
