I got the idea to do Mystery Readers from Beth Newingham's website.

Each Friday we have a different mystery reader come to our classroom and read a picture book to the class during our read aloud time. The readers are moms, dads, brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, grandparents, or neighbors. Anyone that's important to the life of a child in my class is welcome to come and read. The readers sign up to read and then give me five clues to share with the class. By Friday, the class cannot wait to see who the reader will be!

Here are some pictures of our Frog-Tastic Mystery Readers so far this year!
