North fifth graders read from Dr. Seuss Students of Connie Bell's 5th grade class at North Elementary School in Kings Mountain cele- brated the birth date of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss March 2nd. Bringing their fa- vorite Dr. Seuss books to class, the students read stories like "The Cat in the Hat" and talked about Dr. Seuss' work. The cele- bration was part of "Read Across America Day." Born Theodore Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss submitted his first manuscript 43 times before it was accepted. One of the most popular authors of juvenile lit- erature, Seuss' fame has risen to the point that there are over 200 Internet websites devoted to him and his work. Taking a page from one of Seuss’ books entitled "Oobleck," Bell's students made a batch of the green stuff that gives the work its name. Neither liquid nor solid, the goo sticks to ev- erything it comes in contact with. Adding to their Dr. Seuss theme, several students also sported tall "cat hats."

LATTIMORE From 2A : with three hours of credit. "When asked'just why she teaches, Lattimore. becomes thoughtful and serious. “I simply try to share the knowledge I've gained with my students,” she says. "I realize that math is not always easy, but I try to make it understand- able. It is not important that ev- ery student reach the same level of mathematical knowledge, but it is important that they un- derstand how math relates to the world and that they will al- ways come in contact with some type of math." Not only is Lattimore appre- ciated by her students, col- leagues like Robin Masters | know her qualities as well. "She is great to work with," said Masters. "She really works those kids hard." Whether she's skillfully guid- ing her students through a tough math calculation, or help- ing them negotiate a turn in the life, Mary Ann Lattimore is always there to help with the correct answer. ry School enjoyed lunch at Subway in Kings Mountain as a reward for their reading efforts.
