In our classroom this year, you will have the opportunity to participate in a student-favorite: Mystery Readers!
On specific days, we will host parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, etc. to bring in and read aloud a favorite picture book to the class. Students love when their family members are the Mystery Reader and all students benefit from an adult sharing their love of reading.
Because this is a mystery, all information must be kept TOP SECRET from your child, including the date you are coming and the picture book you will be reading. A week before you are scheduled to come in, I will send home a letter (or send an e-mail) asking for five clues about yourself. These clues will be read to the class before your arrival to build suspense and keep the students guessing about who our Mystery Reader will be! If you need help choosing a book, I am happy to help.
Please see our Mystery Reader Sign Up for available dates and times. If none of these times/dates work, please send me an e-mail and we can try and arrange a different time. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you in class this year!
