🔎Mystery Solved!✨To help celebrate Read Across America Week, students enjoyed a fun round of Mystery Reader! 📚Each day, students listened to a different story and received a riddled clue about the mystery reader. As the week went on, they worked together to solve the clues and guess who might be behind the book. On the final day, students shared their predictions before the mystery reader was finally revealed! It was a week full of reading, logical thinking and great detective work from our young readers.

“Five people stand in front of a brick wall with a neon sign partially visible behind them, each holding a children’s book in front of their face so their identities are hidden. The books shown are The Bad Seed, The Sour Grape, The Good Egg, The Smart Cookie, and The Cool Bean by Jory John and Pete Oswald. The colorful covers feature cartoon food characters, including a sunflower seed, grape, egg with glasses, cookie with sprinkles, and bean. Only the readers’ gloved hands and parts of their clothing are visible while they hold the books up.”

Five adults stand in two rows smiling and holding children’s books from the “Food Group” picture book series. In the back row, two women hold The Sour Grape and The Smart Cookie. In the front row, three women hold The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Cool Bean. The group stands in front of a colorful backdrop with a brick wall, neon-style text, and decorative leaves.

A colorful classroom bulletin board displays student artwork inspired by the “Food Group” book series. Paper characters resembling seeds, eggs, grapes, cookies, and beans with cartoon faces are arranged in a grid of bright colored squares and bordered with yellow scalloped trim.

A teacher takes a selfie with a group of young students inside a classroom. The children stand close together smiling, wearing playful glasses and backpacks, while classroom tables, cubbies, and learning materials appear in the background.

Students sit at desks in a classroom watching a digital screen at the front of the room displaying a picture book.

Staff from Dr. Eppard’s office recently visited Farmington to promote healthy oral hygiene habits with our students!
