GreenEggsandHam

Kindergarten students in Carolyn Colantropo’s (in the pink sweater) and Jennifer Barth’s (with the princess crown) classes at the Roanoke Avenue School participated in “Read Across America,” an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author, Dr. Seuss. They topped off their reading of Dr. Seuss’ book Green Eggs and Ham with some green eggs and ham. “Grandma” Gretta Eerland (front right) helped dish it out while Michael Schoener sang, “I love green eggs and ham!” (Photo courtesy of Riverhead Central School District.)
