Mystery Reader


Every year the Firstie Nation opens its doors to the Senate's families and friends for a little mystery reading.  It is a ton of fun.
  This year I am honored to have one of my BFF teacher friend's little baby in my class.  So, little miss' mom volunteered to come to the Nation and read a story.

Clues:
I work with kids.
I LOVE warm weather.
I have two children.
My favorite holiday is the 4th of July.
I have a daughter in your class.

Mrs. Isaacs
And because Coach Isaac's is a teacher...she not only read an AWESOME story, but she brought a cool little activity to go along with it,
The mystery story was "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs."  After the story, the senate was split into groups, to build a house with sticks, bricks (Lego) and straws.  After they built their houses, the wolf came to blow  (or sneeze) their houses down.

They had so much fun!   We had MEA last week so they didn't have a mystery read last Friday.  Let's see who's next...

stay tuned...

I LOVE MESSES!!! 
 
Have I ever told you I LOVE FIRST GRADE?  
I can make a mess and they love it!!!!  Now it drives my husband and Mrs. Magnuson batty and I am pretty sure Mrs. Rosa and Mrs. Herigon want to put me on an ice floe and send me off to sea, but....my Firsties love it and so does the teaching trifecta...even if they won't admit it!
 
Have a FABULOUS weekend Firstie Nation!
