Dear me

Dear me,

By the sixth grade students of
the 37th Primary School of Iraklio, Crete

2020-2021

At the end of the school year the sixth graders at the 37th Primary School of
Iraklio read and analysed Dr Seuss’ book ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go’. In the book
the writer gives advice to young readers about their future life, while
emphasizing the numerous opportunities they have to succeed in life, as long as
they have self-confidence and make wise choices. Inspired by the book, the sixth
graders wrote short notes giving themselves valuable advice. Students’ ‘Dear me
notes’ are all included in this book.
