By jennifer

Hi I teach Dear Mr. H every year.
--I have the kids keep a journal, just like Leigh keeps a diary in the book.
--have the kids write to famous authors of their choosing...have to get adresses from your librarian
in school or in the town in which you live.
--In the story Leigh makes a lunch box alarm. I have the kids make alarms and explain to the class how they work.
--We keep track on a map of California where Leigh's Dad goes on his truck trips.
-- Another activity we do is write silly songs (poems)because in the story Leigh and his family sing silly songs in the car.
--Leigh

goes to the butterfly trees when he is sad. I have the kids write about a place they like to go when they feel sad.
--We make stained glass butterflies to decorate our windows
