Dear Washington Irving Elementary,
Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome! I have never seen so much purple in my life. Your bookmarks and cards were amazing. As promised, I am posting some of my favorites here. Actually, I had my bunny Snoop pick them out so don’t blame me if you don’t see yours up there. I thought all of them were pretty amazing. I couldn’t do a better job if I tried myself!
Reading PARIS PAN the right way!
In addition to all of the art, I will never forget your awesome participation in the visit, of course. Plus, there was so much singing and dancing, we could have a made a musical! Finally, let’s not forget the reading. Nothing cooler than reading in the dark with a favorite pillow and a flashlight.
Thanks again! I hope you big readers out there turn into serious writers. I look forward to reading your books on the shelves one day.
P.S. Mischievous Guys, you rocked. Ashley, thank you for the bracelet!
P.P.S. A big thank you to Mrs. Lemmons for putting together a great visit, and to the 5th grade teachers for sharing PARIS PAN with your students. Please make sure you give Mrs. Lemmons and your teachers a big hug from me. Also, Mrs. Lemmons, I am still wearing the purple hair everywhere I go. LOVE IT!
