| During the 2003-2004 school year Mrs. Lois Szymanski agreed to participate for a fifth year in the "Authors in Residence" program at Delmar Elementary School. Six students in Mrs. Weeg's fourth grade computer class wrote stories with the help of their online mentor, Mrs. Szymanski, who has written many children's books. The project was very successful and enjoyed by all. The students were filled with excitement when Mrs. Szymanski wrote and said she was coming to Delmar to meet them and speak to the entire school. Lois brought one of her books for each of her budding authors! |

Dear Mrs.Szymanski,
Thank you for coming to see us. Thank you for your book. I was surprised to see you. The book is good so far and I like the book. That might be my favorite book. I was proud to see you. Your books are the best. I just love your books. I wish I can make books like you some day. I am just a beginner.
Your friend, |
| Hi Zachary,
It was wonderful getting to meet you at your school! It was good to finally be able to put a face with your name. I especially enjoyed eating lunch together, and spending time together in the lab. I was really impressed with how good you all do on the computers! When I was in school (a long, long time ago) we didn't even have computers. Your story of the Thanksgiving Day ghosts was one of the most imaginative stories I have ever read from a student. I do hope you continue to write. I want to see your name on a the cover of a book one day! Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! Enjoy your summer, and keep writing!
Hugs From Your Friend,
Hi Kia, I wanted to write one more time to let you know that I really enjoyed getting to meet you at your elementary school! I was surprised at home much all of you had grown since your pictures were posted on the web at the beginning of the school year! Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! It was wonderful spending time with you, talking in the faculty lounge and eating lunch together. I especially enjoyed spending time with all of you in the lab! Getting to meet my student friends is always an excellent treat! I hope you had as much fun writing together this year, as I did. Keep writing! You did a great job this year!

Hi Gerrod, I had a wonderful time visiting you at your school, and getting to know you better. It's always fun to meet a email friend in person! I wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you this year, writing a story together. You always made me smile with all your great work and good ideas. There is a writer inside of you. Don't forget to use that skill and write more stories! Getting to eat with you in the Faculty Lounge, and spending time in the lab was a lot of fun. I am so impressed with how good you all are on the computers! I wish there was a computer in the classroom when I was a kid! Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! Keep writing!
Hugs From Your Friend,
Hi Josh, I wanted to write to let you know how much fun I had working with you this year. Your letters and your story was a bright spot in my work days. There is a writer inside of you, so don't forget to let him write more as the days, months, and years pass! Meeting you in person was wonderful. It is so good to be able to see the smile up close and to give you a hug. I enjoyed the time we spent in the Faculty Lounge eating lunch, and watching you work at the computers in Mrs. Weeg's lab. You guys did an awesome job! Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! I am looking forward to hearing how you are doing from Mrs. Weeg. Keep writing, and have a super summer!

Hi Whitney, I wanted to write to tell you what a great time I had working with you as you wrote your story this year. You always impressed me with your good work. I am still thinking about the stories, and the lovely visit we shared together at Delmar! I hope that you continue to write stories and keep your thoughts in a journal. Writing is a skill you will use in everything you do, and you have learned a lot about how to be a great writer! I really enjoyed the time we spent together, eating in the Faculty Lounge, and talking and sharing in Mrs. Weeg's lab. It was fun to see how you work there each day, and where your station is. Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! It will always me a reminder of the time I spent with you!
Hugs From Your Friend,
Hi Nicole, I wanted to write to tell you how much fun I had working with you this year! Watching your story grow was a real treat. You always surprised me with your good work and your great ideas. I hope you keep on writing. It is a skill you will use in all parts of your life, no matter what you decide to do. My favorite part of the visit was eating together in the Faculty Lounge and talking with you, getting to know you a little better, and watching how you work in Mrs. Weeg's lab. I went home with a picture in my mind of each of you sitting at your stations working on your stories. Thank you for the wonderful flower you gave me. It is growing beautifully and is about to bloom again! I always looked forward to your letters and watching your story grow. I will miss you, but I hope to see you on my visit next year! Have a wonderful summer!
