WHO AM I? Mrs. Capen's 2nd grade class at Pine Tree welcomed their first "Mystery Reader" of the year. Students received the following three clues:
1-She is a doctor and delivered a lot of babies.
2-She lives in Massachusetts with her two big dogs.
3-She loves to read and make little "book wagons"
When the mystery reader arrived, she read a story to the class and answered students' questions related to her clues. Who was she? Classmate Mila's aunt! We can't wait to see who visits Mrs. Capen's class next month! 💜📚❓
