Dale Pepin came to our school to tell stories on October 20, 2004.
He taught us the Story Socks Rap. His website is http://pages.zdnet.com/storysocks .
Ben and Nickolas were asked to help him pick his stories.

After his presentation, we wrote him a thank you letter together.

Here it is:

October 20, 2004

Dear Dale Pepin:

Thank you for telling stories at our school. We really like your stories. Ali liked the story of Puss in Boots because it was nice and long. Samantha B. liked the part when you told the story about the prince getting married. Alex W. liked the part when stories were planning to make the prince sick. Kurt liked the part when you asked Nickolas, “Are you a boy or a girl?” Chelsey liked the part where you cut the apple and showed us the star inside it.

How old are you?
How many years have you been telling and writing stories? How old were you when you started telling stories?

Thanks again for coming to our school.

Yours Truly,

Mr. McGaughey’s Grade 2 Class
