WANTED:   MYSTERY READERS... 
On Friday afternoons I invite parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to come to first grade and share a story with the class.  

Simply email me that you are interested.  We work out a date, email me 3 clues for the class so they can try to guess who you are on Friday.  For example I love dogs, I have nine snowmobiles, and 2 boats.  Then the students will guess who our Mystery reader may be. 
I sugguest bringing a story you enjoy to read.

Dear parents,

I just looked at the weather for our field trip tomorrow to Apple Holler and it looks to be a wet one.  It looks like it’s going to be in the mid 60’s and rain. I suggest not wearing nice clothes to Apple Holler.  I would wear rain boots if you have them, or older gym shoes you don’t mind trashing. If you have a rain jacket I’d send your child with it.  We will make the most of our trip. It will be a messy but fun one. 

Please remember to bring a sack lunch and disposable drink.
