Foreward:

     Nine months of working with my class on Frim Fram Wimzy has taught me one very important lesson...that the feelings and emotions of children are deep---deeper than I had ever imagined. The ideas which the children expressed through their writing kept me in a constant state of awe and amazement, and reading their work over and over again prompted me to question some of my own attitudes and beliefs. The world of my students is a unique and beautiful one, and it is my hope that the reader will approach this world with an open mind and heart.            Luke Duncan.

Special thanks must be given to Miss Grace Nixon for her many hours at the typewriter

Afterward:

      Writing this book has been a challange. At the onset myh intention was to use it as a language arts project but soon after we began it became evident that the project could not be confined to the area of language arts. The social studies; sciences and humanities provided unlimited resources for the students to express themselves through the written word. I challange elementary teachers who read Frim Fram Wimzy to try writing a book with their class. The children will love the challange and the rewards the teacher receives are immeasurable.             Luke duncan.
