Miss Goshert discussing the book with the kids after the read aloud!

As if this week has not been good enough with all of our recycling fun, it got BETTER!  Today we had our first mystery reader come into our classroom!  I explained the concept to the kids at the beginning of the day.  At 2:00 there would be someone coming into our classroom to read a story.  It was going to be a surprise, but they would get 3 clues during the day to help them figure it out.  It was the talk of the day!  “Who was it going to be? I think it’s going to be Mr. Smith!  No…it’s going to be Mrs. Williams!  I don’t know!  Mrs. Clark WHO IS IT?!”  Our first mystery reader was Miss Goshert (a Butler friend).  She came and read The House That Jack Built.  

I am hoping to continue this concept of a mystery reader each week on Fridays.  I feel strongly that kids should see lots of people reading, not just their teachers or close family members.  EVERYONE reads!  I would like to involve family members as we continue.  If this is something you would be interested in please let me know!  We can be flexible.  You can bring a book from home (or one of your favorites) or we can give you one.
