One Book, One School: Mystery Box!

4/7/2025 1:44 pm

This week in "Fish in a Tree" by Lynda Hunt we explore how intelligence isn't solely defined by academics excellence. For example, Ally was the only student in hundreds of kids to identify the mystery object in her class mystery box.

Now it's your turn! We have 3 mystery box challenges in the Monroe library that require students to think critically and creatively to solve the puzzle. Can they guess what's inside?
