One super cool thing about first grade, is that they have mystery readers. Every Friday, Dawson's class has a mystery reader knock on their classroom door, & his teacher gives out clues to help the students figure out who it is that week. The mystery reader gets to read a story to the class. Mystery readers can be any family member or friend of the students.
I signed up to take the very first mystery reader spot the first week of school! I read the book 'Rainbow Fish' to the kiddos, because it is all about making new friends by sharing with them. I thought that would be a good book at the beginning of a new school year.
Me with my boy afterwards. I LOVE being up at school with him. If I could, I would probably hang out in his classroom all day long.
In the book I read them, Rainbow fish makes all of his friends by sharing his sparkling scales with the other fish. He shares all of them until he only has one sparkly scale left for himself. I lucked out & found these sparkly mustang silly bands. (school mascot) I gave each kid 5 silly bands, but told them they had to give away 4 of them, keeping only 1 for themselves. Good idea in theory, but Dawson kept me posted over the next few weeks about how many each kid still had, and it looks like they all struggled with the sharing part! So far, I have been the mystery reader 3 times this year! So fun!
