Students at R.M. Moore read the story Odd Velvet by Mary Whitcomb and shared that ideas about the author's message. Odd Velvet is a story of a new little girl who moves to the neighbourhood. Her classmates notice that Velvet likes to do things a little differently. 
When her classmates leave an apple on the desk for their teacher, Velvet leaves a collection of flowers,twigs and rocks in an egg carton. Velvets family likes to do things a little differently as well. The children in the story eventually get to know and like Velvet and her family and come to understand that they are all unique in their own way. The students in Mrs. Hazelton's class created posters using the messages that they inferred from the text. Enjoy reading their responses.
