Letters from Kate Boehm Jerome
In our reading group discussion, we kept noticing
that so many books that we were reading were written by Kate Boehm
Jerome. Students were amazed by the variety of topics that Ms. Jerome
covered. We read her books about animal adaptations to North Carolina
(just to name a few). Students wanted to know how she attained such
detailed information about such a variety of topics, so we decided to
each write her a letter. Attached are some of the responses from Ms.
Jerome. She wrote each student a hand-written note on "fancy"
stationary. :) Kate also sent us a signed book on North Carolina for
future classes to read. Often, writers can seem distant to their
audience, yet Kate took to the time to become very real to our
students. Thank you, Ms. Jerome for your amazing resources in
non-fiction and taking time to inspire our class.
