Today we have some amazing news to share... we are SOOOO excited we could BURST! 
One of our favourite websites to visit is INKLESS TALES and late last week the editor of this website, Elizabeth Bushey, left a comment on OUR blog!
We thought we were very special when we read her lovely comment left on our DO YOU HAVE TO BE A TEACHER TO TEACH? post. Elizabeth agreed with us that anyone can be a teacher and reminded us that WE CAN DO ANYTHING because we CAN.... we just have to TRY.
We felt like V.I.P.'s because someone from the other side of the world had visited our blog. We looked at Elizabeth's website and realised she was a V.I.P. too- a very clever one at that!
Yesterday when we logged onto the blog, there was another comment from Elizabeth, this time on our POST ABOUT 5. When we read this comment, OUR JAWS DROPPED.... NO WORDS CAME OUT!!!
She's a writer and illustrator of stories and poems

She'd sent us a poem about 5- and 'unpublished' poem. We couldn't believe that Elizabeth had chosen us to be the FIRST to see it.You can read it, too. CLICK HERE to go to our post ABOUT 5, then go down to the comments.
Now we have to come up with some ideas for a TITLE and some ILLUSTRATIONS to go with the poem. We've never worked with an AUTHOR before. We are EXCITED, AMAZED and PROUD!
We feel really blessed to have Elizabeth help us learn. So we wanted to do something special for her (with just a bit of help from Mrs M!)
HERE IT IS...
We have a new friend, Elizabeth
We have a new friend, Elizabeth
America is where she's at.
That's a long way
but she's a mouseclick away
WOW... imagine that!
She's a writer and illustrator of stories and poems
and great games and songs too.
We love her website Inkless Tales
There's so much to see, learn and do!
Elizabeth paid a visit to our blog
and left a comment you see.
She agreed with us- we ALL can teach
That's right- even you and me!
Now there's a poem about number 5
We were the first to see it.
Thankyou Elizabeth for choosing us-
we really can't believe it!
The poem we love, we think it's great
It really helps you learn
all about 5 and what it looks like
but now it is our turn.
We learnt from you, you showed us how
We are trying something new
You encouraged us to have a go....
So here's our poem, Elizabeth, to you!
THANKYOU!
We know Mrs M has emailed Elizabeth and there are some exciting things we can do together.... we just wish she lived closer!
There's no one else in our school that has had this happen to them.

HOPE YOU LIKE OUR POEM, ELIZABETH. :>)

Hi Mrs M,
I have some ideas which we could use.
A big drawing of a 5. My Dad thinks that the poem should be called 6 is not my favorite number.

Hey Jarvis, I love your Dad's idea for a title. Yours is a great idea too. I wonder what Elizabeth will think?
I have liked talking with Elizabeth and learning about her.

I LOVE THE POEM! Honestly, I feel as though I'm the one who is honoured by our acquaintance, truly. Children are very special people.
And as anyone who reads your blog will see -- very TALENTED people.
I am going to print a copy of your poem and post it above where I work for inspiration.
I like Jarvis' dad's idea for the title. Why not field a few more suggestions and have a vote?
What a lovely surprise. Thank you so very much. I'll have a surprise for you, too -- probably tomorrow. I'll let you know as soon as it's done!
a grateful,
Elizabeth.
Scratch that. I WAS able to upload your surprise tonight, after all. (It's 9:44 p.m., NY time, March 8, 2007.)
