Mystery Reader

I am starting this new thing every Friday afternoon. Our kindergarten class will have a "Mystery Reader" come and read one of their favorite childhood books. I give them one clue every day. This week's clues were:

Our Mystery Reader:
1. Likes basketball
2. Loves to learn about social studies
3. Likes the Royals
4. Loves the Chiefs
5. Graduated from Mizzou

The kids had many guesses before our mystery reader came. And then he walked into our classroom. They didn't know who Ben was so they made guesses. For example, my friend and my dad (5 times). They finally figured out that he was THE Mr. Schirmer! Here are some pictures of him reading The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs. They loved it!



This is our skittle celebration because they earned 10 stars in one day! They each got their own bag of skittles and yes one skittle did fall out of a kids mouth and stain Ben's khakis.
