Often I have the class do a poetry unit right before winter break, and then I write an elaborate thank you note poem for the class for any gifts I get. They like to see me do the same kind of work I've made them do!
This year we did short stories right before the break, so I thought I should write a thank you in the form of a short story. Several kids wrote "choose your own adventure" stories. I'd never done one of those before, so I decided to challenge myself and give that genre a try.
I created a website specifically for the story: dreagan.com. (If you go to the "about" page on the web site you can see where the name came from.)
I hope you enjoy the story with your children, and I hope you know how very much I appreciate all the thoughtful gifts.
