The River

I loved those mornings too. I learned so much about four-year-old sons. Thanks, Garrett.

What a wonderful memory to have, Garrett, of spending time with your Dad every day before school exploring your new home and getting to know the outdoors so well--and in your pajamas, too: how fun! --Beverley

Garrett,
This is something I did not know about you. I liked the way you described the way you went to the river and what you learned about. It was captivating so I didn't stop reading, and it was very good. You could work on a little more detailing I guess, but I think it was really good!
Hannah

Garrett,
Your story was very good. It was captivating and I liked the way you described how you felt when you were at the river. It was hard to put down and I thought it was very interesting and good. This is something I didn't know about you. Keep up the good work.
Hannah

garrett I like how your story and how you describe how to make the boat

Dear Garrett,
Your writing was very descriptive and I liked the subject you chose. It was very interesting to hear about your time on the river. It sounds like alot of fun. i have one question; What tractor are you talking about?
Keep up the good work!
Olivia

Dear Garrett,
I loved how you followed the beaver tracks and found a beaver that was really big. I liked the story and keep up the great work, nice job. I
have one question; what tractor you are talking about?
-Braden

Garrett-that was a great story and I love how you described being out in the woods. I can see a little kid wandering behind his dad in the woods with airplane pj's and a large thermos, carefully tracking down beaver tracks.

I thought it was a great story, you had great description. I liked that you collected rocks and bones and put them into a box.

Great job.

Jack

Dear Garrett,

I thought that your story was excelent. I liked how you explained how you felt at the different sanareos. I also thought that you did a great job of puting in the details of how you and your dad would make the boats. You also did a great job of painting a picture in our minds

Great job, Pierson Wood carlsen

Great story! Your "eagle eyes must hae came in handy when you were tracking animals!

Amazing story Garrett! I liked how you explained all the details about the wilderness. Once again great story!

Garrett,
I have know you for six years and I didn't know that you were scared of trees! I liked how you didn't
make it plain and boreing. It was well writen and I could picture you the whole time. Great story!
Your freind, Keegan

Garrett, I enjoyed your story. What great memories for you and your father! That's very special and I hope you'll always remember those days. Well done!

Dear Garret,
That is a great story I liked it a lot especally the boat part that must have been fun. Great job!

Hey Garret,
Like your story! im surprised you remembered everything when you were four! For me, everythings a blur till about 1st grade or so! I would love it if you told us more about finiding animal tracks!

Evan

P.S. i like your eyes

Dear Garrett,
Your story was great! I liked the part where you raced sticks on the river. I would like to here more about finding the animal tracks. What kinds of tracks did you find besides the beaver?

-Hope

Garrett-
I thought your story was really good and i loved how you described everything. The pictures are also super cool. Haha, I know what its like because I moved from LA too, but I can see why you love it so much up here. Good job, and keep it up.

Ryan

Garrett,
Both you and Olivia's storys are about moving!! What a quink-a-Dink!!!
Great story!!
Blair

Sorry didn't write alot but now i am! Great story i think you should tell more about the move.
But other than that i loved you story and i think you should share your writing more in class! Good job!!!
Blair

garret I can totally realate to your story. when i was 6 i moved hear from New York. I felt out of place to. I think that this is a great storyand your great at telling the reader how you fell in love with Idaho

Garrett,

I liked how you talk about the boats you and your dad made. I would like to know more about what kind of stuff you found at the river. I like how you said you had to bring blankets into the car because it was so cold. I would have liked to hear even more about the times that you spent there!

Emily

Garret I really liked your story. when I was little I moved from California to sun valley I was very nervous that I wound not make any friends but when i got there I met sean dane Braden and Griffin on D team in the lode on top of the baldy. I was wondering if you lived near a farm when you said"I would miss my neighbors tractor" but other wise I thought that your story was very good and had a lot of details.

Garrett that was Great. You had very good details and talked about a lot of stuff. I like the part when you talk about racing boats with your dad
P.S. do you still wear airplane pjs and love tractors

I loved how you described everything it made me seem like i was there. I remember on school trips when you ,Pierson and Keegan would make the boats. I was so jealous! Haha. Well i really loved your story, and hope you can tell me more about it.

Wave

Hi I am suprised that you rememberd all that stuff when you where little. I think you should tell more about all your houses

Garrett

i thought you were very discrpitive with your writing and every thing you did in your paragraph and some in your pajamas! haha!

Garrett


I liked your writing a lot especially the part about the beaver. I think that you could have told more about why you were moving

Garrett-
Your story is awesome! That is so cool that you have seen a beaver before. I have seen a lot of animals but never a beaver. I think that a lot of people have probably said this, but it's crazy that you remember so much stuff from where you were four. I like the creativity in in your boat. All of the materials that you used I would have never thought of using them.

Lilly

Garret,
I really like your story especially the part about your airplane pajamas. You had a lot of great detail. AWESOME job!

Eliza

Nice story! I like the part about the boats
I'd like to hear more about the move and some of the differences from San Valley and LA
Samie

-Sarah
