Even the grownups enjoyed them. For an example see my post, “Building a Bot.” Though not terribly scary, I enjoyed telling “The Ghost on Pedersen’s Farm” from FROG’S RIDDLE by Richard Thompson at this time of year.Linda Meusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440579358040238208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203637936679620847.post-50867051579432011042020-10-07T16:06:26.023-04:002020-10-07T16:06:26.023-04:00I wondered if you worked backwards.

I use these sometimes with library and in moments where I cover for a class, etc. I call them magic marker stories where the magic is in the dry erase marker. Elementary kids love them. I really need a SCARY one for grades 4-5, though. Thanks for this one. I will add to my routine. :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381299942418302402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203637936679620847.post-21870950277796820692020-09-21T15:01:30.154-04:002020-09-21T15:01:30.154-04:00I did work backwards for this one.
