Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Let’s read the Sneetches…• As we read think about these questions:• How do the Star-Belly Sneetches look? How do

the Plain-Belly Sneetches look? • How is the language different for plain and Star-

Belly Sneetches? • When you were without a star, how did you feel

about classmates with stars? • What kinds of things do we use as "stars" that

make people feel special? • What makes you feel like a Plain-Belly Sneetch,

a Star-Belly Sneetch? • What lessons did you learn? • List three actions you will take to help everyone

feel like they belong. • http
