Socks and Stripes day are fun......
but last year we added "Read My Shirt" Day and look at all the participation. Tammy @ Forever in First turned the shirts into a class book!
Then we had potato characters. Our potatoes turned into book characters. Students brought them in all week and then Friday we had a parade. Hagrid, Fly Guy, Fancy Nancy, Splat the Cat, The Cat in the Hat, Gluk, Pippi Longstocking, Rainbow Fish, Edward Tulane, and TONS more all showed up to celebrate.
Happy Thursday,
I love all of your ideas! We are a uniform school, but the 1st Friday of every month the kids get a chance to wear "regular" clothes. I think that is March 1, so maybe we do the read my shirt. Love it!

These are such fun ideas! Can't wait for Read Across America to have a lot of fun!
