Next week our Star Student will be- Caroline Constantine!
Mystery Reader
I will also ask you a few questions about when you were learning to read, what types of books were your favorites, and how you use reading today as an adult.
I will also ask that you email me 4 things about you so that the students can guess who our Mystery reader is! I am so excited to do this this year with the kiddos.
If you would like to be a "mystery reader", please sign up on the link below. THANK YOU!
