They are so special. I would love to have a teacher like Miss Chew! She is truly a treat. :) I haven't read two of the books you mentioned- so I will have to look for them. I would love to read your student's essay inspired by Junkyard Wonders. Awesome! ~LDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-44980979976488046242013-08-11T21:36:14.389-04:002013-08-11T21:36:14.389-04:00I read 'The Junkyward Wonders' last week a...I read 'The Junkyward Wonders' last week and got a student to write an essay inspired by it. I went on to read a couple more of Patricia's books: 'The Art of Miss Chew,' 'Someone for Mr Sussmann' and 'Bully' and enjoyed them all, especially 'Miss Chew.' Wish I had memorable teachers like her!Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-77005567858873001432013-04-19T11:44:56.886-04:002013-04-19T11:44:56.886-04:00Elisa- Mrs. Peterson is amazing and a teacher that...Elisa- Mrs. Peterson is amazing and a teacher that truly believes in her students.
