Mystery Reader

March is Read Across America month, and to help motivate reading in the 2nd graders we are having a few Mystery Readers come into our classroom to read some of their favorite stories.

Meet our first Mystery Reader of the month. She read The Very Hungry Catepillar, a book written by Eric Carle who was one of her favorite authors as a child. (The kids were very excited about this book choice since we had done an author study on Eric Carle a few months ago.) Our Mystery Reader is the mommy of one of our 2nd grade girls. She and her husband are former students of HAA! After our Mystery Reader finished sharing her book, she enjoyed having lunch with her 2nd grader.
