Top Ten for Week of March 2nd:
1. We have 21 detectives in the classroom! We are fully into our Mystery Unit and are having a lot of fun!
2. I have a mystery bag in the display case and the "detectives" have to figure out what's inside. It will change weekly, so be sure to ask the kids what was in it!
