Before you see what the students are reading… what are you reading? Please leave a comment and let us know—and show the students that reading isn’t just a “school” thing.
Thanks to Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Denman for already leaving comments!
(For every parent who leaves a comment with what you’re reading, I’ll give your child a BUSTED ticket…)
