Mystery Reader - Finn's Dad

Thanks for coming today and reading one of your favorite books to the class, "The Missing Piece!"  The students loved this book, and your singing!  πŸ˜€. We also loved the book "The Keeper of Wisdom" that you read to us too.  They loved your voices you used as you read!  However, the kiddos voted the book with your singing as their favorite!  πŸ˜œ
