Title: Message

alison knowles came to work with me this afternoon, she looked after my class 4 kids (4th grade)  whilst i desperately tried to finish off my end of term reports. she talked to them about her new book, books, paper and beans - they absolutely loved it! they showed her the books they had made during book week.  books of textures, mono-colour books and sound books.  alison looked at each and every one of them and talked to the kids about each page. and the kids chatted like they'd know her for ages.   the kids wrote her haiku about the afternoon and beans.  alessia's was so good that 'miss knowles' took it home with her!   quite an experience, for all i'd say.   also pretty surreal. to look up from your desk and see that the person who is saving your backside by doing your job for you is someone you studied at college...   or something   one of the odder days in class4   alan
