Dear Mrs. Moore,
We enjoyed the song. I like how you did it in 2 buildings.
I learned some new genres. It’s my favorite song on Techie Kids.

Dear Mrs.Moore,
Hi, I just got a chance to watch your video about genres and I really liked it. My favorite genre is mystery. One of my favorite mystery books is The Haunted School House by: Johnathan Rand. Ms. Fordyce from 5th grade read it and the whole class was in love with it. I hope you have a great summer and I loved being able to have a chance to comment on Techie Kids. P.s. Thank you for being a great teacher!!!

Dear Mrs.Moore,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in the 2/3 split class. My favorite genre is fantasy. A few books to go with it is, Fox In Sox, and Green Eggs In Ham. I love the song and how we got to put our CRAZY moves on the web! You sang that song very well. I loved having you as my tech teacher last year
From last year’s techie kid Jada,
P.S. I love what you did with the site.
P.P.S. How’s Hugo?
