It was so exciting to hear all of my students reading their stories about the V.I.P.’s of West School. I also loved the drawings! I especially loved my picture-it looks just like me! Thank you Lydon. Thank you, Mrs. Winsper for helping us with this project. It was a lot of fun.
Thank you, Boys and Girls of Mrs. Rogers class for the wonderful experience of hearing you on a Podcast. It was almost as much fun as visiting your classroom. I will always treasure the Wall of Fame that you did of me, Autuim.
Thank you, Mrs. Winsper, for creating this with this wonderful class!

I loved your presentation on Mrs. O’brien. I thought it was funny when you talked about Mrs.O’brien saying, “Active listeners on the count of 3, 1……. 2……. and 3……..” to get our attention. I liked all the details you used to describe Mrs. O’brien like how you said, “She was nice. ” I also liked that you mentioned that on B weeks we read to you guys. See you Friday. I Hope you bring an interesting book to read on Friday. BYE!

I enjoyed listening to your stories and seeing your drawings. I am a computer professor at Kansas State University, and when I am not teaching my classes, I am learning how to use computers to improve my teaching. You are very lucky to have a teacher and a school that lets you show off your work to the world.
Keep up the good work!
