Did you know we kicked off this week by celebrating not only Dr. Seuss’s Birthday but Read Across America Day on March 2nd! And what better way to celebrate than with a Flash Challenge that’s seuss-ational?

Here’s how it works:

Your Team Champion will share the ADC Dr. Seuss Book Grid in your team’s Zoom room.
Work together to guess each book on the grid—don’t leave any behind!
Once your team’s guesses are in, have your Team Champion submit them in the ADC Off-Topic room (and don’t forget to tag me when you submit!).
If you need to make changes after submitting, don’t edit your original post—just repost your guesses again!

The first team to complete the challenge and guess every book on the grid correctly will earn 100 points! Second place will get 75 points, and third place scores 50 points!

Let the fun begin, and may the best team win—in true Seuss style!
