Dear Friends of Freddy,
My name is Mary Curtis. I
am seven years old. I like the Edwardsville Library in Edwardsville, IL
because it has a nice playroom. The playroom has blocks that you can
build towers with. There is a place where you can color in the room.
We go the Edwardsville Library because our library is very small. We go
to our little library too but we go the Edwardsville Library because it
is very big and nice. The babies can play in the playroom so Mom or Dad
can go find a book. There is a big kid section and a little kid
section.
The outside of the library looks kind of like a
chapel. It has a fountain with flowers around it. Sometimes the
fountain is off.
My family likes the Freddy books. Mom
reads them when Dad is gone. Sometimes Dad is here and he listens to
them too. The Edwardsville Library doesn't have any Freddy books.
Thank you for reading my letter.
Sincerely,
Mary Curtis

Thank you, Mary, for your charming letter. I am a 2nd Grade teacher, and I spend all day with 7 year olds. (Every year my first “Read Aloud” is a Freddy book.)
ReplyDeleteIt is young people like you that keep me teaching. Good luck!

Chris,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fantastic! I think everyone has some fond memories of elementary school "Read Aloud"s and Freddy sounds like a great pick.
