everyone was surprised to receive an email indicating that one had been found
the same day of the “Cat in the Hat” event in Omaha, Nebraska. Greg
Rieger had found the balloon and sent a picture with the following
caption: “Hello, Mrs. Osten’s second-grade class! Greetings from
the Benson neighborhood in Omaha, NE! We are Greg and Reiko.” “I
found your tag today about 5:30 as I came home from work. That must have
been some kind of super-express east wind!” “It sounds like you have a
fun class and teachers! Students, make sure you pay attention to them!” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> “Cat in the
Hat” is presented the first part of March near or on the birthday of Dr. Seuss
who introduced “Cat in the Hat” sixty-one years ago to readers. Using
only two hundred thirty-six different words, Theodor Seuss Geisel changed the
way American children learned to read. The Seuss books were designed to
catch the reader’s attention and imagination stimulating the desire to read the
intriguing adventures Seuss created. In one month 200,000 copies of “The
Cat in the Hat” had sold. By the end of 1960, sales had hit two million.
Since then, many Seuss books have been written and are still a favorite
of readers of all ages. The Seuss books are now on display as a temporary
exhibit at the Madison County Museum in Madison. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> This fun
reading experience in Madison actually began to encourage more reading activity
by people of all ages and also to draw attention to the fact that Madison is
one of the few communities with a Carnegie Library on its original location.
Many people in Madison still recall fond memories of going to that library in
years past. If you have an interest in the future of this building,

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
The seventh annual event hosted by the Madison County Museum and Madison Public Library was held Thursday, October 3. What started in 2007 as a Book Banquet has now evolved into a Science Expo with emphasis on the importance of developing scientific hands-on experiences and good reading habits for students. </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
Five hundred fifty-nine students, thirty-three teachers and seventy parents and teacher assistants from ten schools participated. They included all three Madison schools and schools from Atkinson, Battle Creek, Clarkson, Lindsay, Norfolk, Neligh/Oakdale, and Tilden.Forty-two Madison residents volunteered with various events which included a Teddy Bear Clinic, Planetarium, Science Investigations with the Madison Sheriff Office, Wildlife Encounters, the Pierson Wildlife mobile display and sixteen areas in the City Auditorium providing students with other opportunities to interact with a variety of science experiences as well as view scientific posters from the Madison Middle School science department.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
These science opportunities included bees, health care, entomology, wildlife, dinosaur dig, panning for gold, horticulture, dairy, electricity, minerals and fossils, and culminated in viewing the 30’x50’ running “H-O” scale trains in the west museum building.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
Each school received books so that students each had their very own book to enjoy as a part of the busy day in Madison, Nebraska.</div>
<br />
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
Everyone appreciates the wonderful assistance from our volunteers and the City of Madison in helping make this day a success. Even the weather (a very important part of our science) cooperated!</div>

The schools and communities continue to show their love of reading! On March 26, 2009 hundreds of readers gathered at the city auditorium to celebrate literature by observing decorated tables and eating fun desserts! Here are videos to share in some of that evening. One illustrates the amazing tables decorated by teachers and students from Madison Elementary School, St. Leonard's Catholic School, and Trinity Lutheran School. The other two videos focusing on reading were created by students from Madison Elementary and were shared at the banquet.</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy0ko9qKBLwp6LEVuIue1SMSEhV_BK-8JTSf4L9rvrMVTgV5-VwM5BbRqWJSbJI_uGtsMfCTzi-HjsRLEQBLw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzxO3Q_RDKsoY4EyfnopxvtUnB8y0cyJKgw8aJj78rNvKR2zq3r3QBH1j9BVRQoeC6WsQ--5_D9Rk3-y2vDQw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzO_pQoptCxT2qkKQpXfE_rZ3fTh53x8ztFlCqG1nj8BQudVcPfC-zVqrGx4E-waYYQLLsPTZLhO8lw9yjPqw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993966052620068712.post-24747485052491903002008-11-23T21:24:00.001-06:002008-11-23T21:26:46.018-06:00Two Important DatesMark your calendars! <br /><br />March 3, 2009 Cat in the Hat Festival<br /><br />March 26, 2009 Book Dessert Banquet<br /><br /><br />Kindergarten, Preschool, and First Grade classes--the Seuss Cat in the Hat Activity Day has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2009, at the Madison City Auditorium. The times you will be coming will be announced later as we draw closer to the event.<br /><br /><br />We also have set up a date for the 2nd Annual Book Dessert Banquet. This year it will be held on Thursday, March 26, 2009. We are really excited about our second year out on this activity. We have incorporated many of your suggestions and are anticipating another successful event. We have already heard from two other teachers who would like to join our 'celebration of reading.' Since we feel that 30 tables are the most we can accommodate, we would like to suggest that you limit yourself to one table, if possible. We will decorate in an island theme this year----and have the Dragonfire Girls performing!!! (If any of you have palm trees or other island decorating items we can use--we would be so appreciative.) Our actual program will be kept short with plenty of time to view tables. We also are working on a plan to make sure all attending will be seated so the 'bleacher issue' will be kept under control. We certainly welcome any additional suggestions you might have thought of over the summer. We hope to see you all there!<br /><br /><br /><br />Madison County Museum<br /><br />Madison Public LibraryUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993966052620068712.post-2744254906979618892008-03-09T21:25:00.004-05:002008-03-09T22:24:29.096-05:00Book Dessert BanquetWow, what a great turnout for the first Book Dessert Banquet. The evening was filled with people of all ages. A slide show featuring all of the tables played while everyone admired 30 different tables decorated with features from a chosen book. Introductions were made and a slide show showcased the Cat in the Hat festival that took place earlier in the week. Charlotte and Sarah Endorf, authors of <span style="font-style: italic;">By Train They Came</span>, spoke to the audience as well. Kindergartners were recognized with all of the Kinderbooks they have made this year. A Tribute was made to Sandy Maybon for all of the work she does for the Madison County Museum. All attendees concluded the night by reading a Reading Oath. This event definitely began a reading adventure for the community of Madison.<br /><br /><br /> <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwgva9I-t79ruFGXBDsNC0cOkkirkjSrLMvOb-mpSsbwid-90kGD4avScuD-6CSOALCX0ZpCCq6RVeOWcdIVA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> This video includes pictures of the books showcased and the teachers who decorated the tables.
