Ask Meli! March, 2017

Meli 3

Meli is really enjoying all of her mail!! Your letters were wonderfully written and she could tell that you all have been working hard on your reading and writing. You must have some great teachers! She has received many questions from all over the country. Here are a few examples.

Below are questions sent in from Riley, Emoneet, Ealiyah, and Caihey from Blue Jay Bird Elementary School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin!

Q: Dear Meli, I like your books. What is your favorite toy? In Taking Care of Meli, I like the part about the chicken toothpaste. It was funny! I like Meli books. - Riley

Haha! Yes, the chicken toothpaste was funny! My favorite toy this week is Chicken. Sometimes I’m more in the mood for my ball. Usually when the weather is nice. That was my favorite last week. When the weather gets dreary, I like to cuddle with Chicken. 

Q: Dear Meli, Meli I love your books. Who is your mom? I love your book and my favorite book is Meli at the Pet Shop. - Emoneet

The mother who gave birth to me was a West Highland Terrier just like me! Then Ms. Fountas adopted me when I was little puppy and gave me a warm, loving home with lots of treats and snuggles!

Q: Dear Meli, Where were you born? Meli at The Vet is my favorite book. – Ealiyah

I was born in Massachusetts near the city of Boston. Do you know where that is? It’s on the east coast, far from Wisconsin, but you can find it on a map!

Q: Dear Meli, Thank you for your books. I like Taking Care of Meli and Meli at the Pet Shop. What's your favorite presents? I love Meli books! - Caihy

You are very welcome for the books, Caihy!! Tell your teacher to look out for new Meli books coming soon! My favorite presents are new stuffed toys, treats, and hugs!

Meli would love to know what your plans for Spring Break are! You can let her know in your letters along with any more questions, so keep them coming! We will have a new post each month. Please be sure to send them to Meli c/o The Fountas & Pinnell Team, 361 Hanover St., Portsmouth, NH 03801. And don't forget to Tweet your questions to @FountasPinnell with #FPAskMeli.

See you soon!
