As we began our new unit of study focused on nonfiction reading, we decided to change up reading partners. Some of our partnerships from the beginning of the year had been outgrown, and so it was time to interview each other again. I am so impressed with the seriousness our kids bring to this exercise. They know themselves well as readers, and they really want to find a friend who shares similar interests and books. Here is a short clip of our kids in action...

Dear Mr. Brown,
I believe that you might be the same Mr. Brown that had taught me at Dutch Fork Elementary School in that little portable classroom outside. If you are the same Gresham Brown then this is for you:
I was a student of yours back in 2000-2001. You taught 3rd grade back then. I have always wanted to let you know what a great inspiration you were to me... but i didn't know how to contact you and give you my thanks for being such an incredible teacher and a friend. My goal in life is to become and elementary teacher, and use the same fun things you had brought into your own classroom. Such as guitar/ singing time. I recently came across the Invitation poem by Shel Silverstein. It had reminded me of you, so I decided to google your name and here I am now writing to you. I still plant a amaryllis each year and watch it grow. I hope you remember me as I surely will remember you for the rest of my life.
Love,
Ashley Bell
3rd Grade Class of 00-01
