Scott Miller Wrote:Well I read it to the 5th graders last week and the response was quite positive, although one girl told me it was "long". In one class it generated some great discussions about friendship, trust and stealing.
Yesterday I read it to the 3rd graders and they loved it. One class wrote me a letter and here it is:
Dear Mr. Scott
We were excited to hear your imaginative story. Some of our favorite parts were when we saw The Christmas Thingy, when Jessica and Thingy became best friends and when we found out Thingy changed his ways. Your voice made the story interesting and made us feel like we were in the story. Mr. Scott your story was so special to us that we will never forget it.
Thank you for inviting third grade to this reading. One of your favorite stories is now one of our favorite stories.
Your friends,
The Team Lions
So thanks again to FPW for giving me something to read to help connect with the youth and I swear I told them that you were the author.
