Student Letters to Duncan

DEAR DUNCAN,

YELLOW GREEN CRAYON: My new owner Michael is terrible I’m coming
home.
MICHAEL: I heard that.
YELLOW GREEN CRAYON: All he does is play fortnite, eat chips and watch
TV.
MICHAEL: Wow you are really bad at whispering.
YELLOW GREEN CRAYON: But anyways I’m coming home and in case I didn’t
tell you Michael plays with me. He’s eleven and is playing with a crayon.

Dear Duncan, I think Crayons
can be used for more than just
coloring...

Dear Duncan,
My red crayon wants to go swimming in the ocean. My crayon really wants to go to
Florida and be in the sunshine.

Duncan

Dear Duncan,
It's Cerulean crayon I was eaten by
the puppy and got destroyed. I put
myself together with some tape.
Please come get me of the carpet.
I can't risk getting eaten again. Also
this tape is not working very well.
From, Cerulean crayon (Lily Bass)
P.S. It happened.

Dear Duncan, I think crayons should be used more than coloring. Crayons can be your
best friends. You can tell them all your secrets and they wouldn’t tell anyone. You could
do anything with them because they wouldn’t care. You could eat anywhere with them
because they will not care where you wanna eat. I think that you will need your crayon
for the rest of your life. Tell your crayon your grateful for them!

Dear Duncan,
Please send HELP! They broke me in half and melted me. I promise you
can still color with me, but I can not fit back in the crayon wrapper.

Your flat friend, Orange.

Dear Duncan,

I know I am just a basic blue but I still
deserve as much as the other colors! That

is why I am writing this letter. The other
colors are in the crayon box while I am
under the couch because you let your
sister color with me. I thought I was your
favorite! I almost got vacuumed up!! HELP

ME!!!

your dear friend
Green crayon

green By Cody
Hoffman

Dear Duncan,

This is your friend and you left me here
outside and I died because the sun melted me.
You can still do anything with me even though
I’m flat like a blueberry pancake.

Your friend,
Blue Crayon

Dear Duncan,

I took you to my mom's and her dog ate you. Then the puppy La La took it and
put you outside in the sun. You stayed there all day and then I brought you in
and put you in the freezer. Then after that my sister got you and put you in the
toilet.

Your friends red orange crayon,
(Tatianya Hamilton)

Dear Duncan
I miss you. I am next to some weird
dog that keeps sneezing, and I’m
starting to get sick. You never used
me for anything but I liked being in the
crayon box better than next to this
sneezing dog. She is really loud. I
hope to see you again soon.

Your unused friend,
Green Yellow crayon

By Oliver Rawdon

I found out this crayon is on a mission to
take over my Instagram account.------------->
PLEASE I’m begging you, take him back.
He also keeps pranking me. I found out he
drew on my face this morning with marker.
Please take him. (Would it be wrong to put
him in a box and ship him to a relative?)

Dear Duncan,
Yellow-orange crayon here.

So, my new owner Alexis was
great, taking me for walks and
jumping on the trampoline, she
even let me sleep on HER
pillow at night! But her mean
little brother Andrew got a hold
of me and snapped me in half
and threw me on the floor and
her dog Biscuit ate most of my
one half. OH NO! HERE
COMES ANDREW!!!!!
HELP!!!!

Dear Duncan,

I am being eaten alive by
a chicken! Can one of my
friends come and help me!I
don't want to die. I want to
be able to play with my
friends. My friends probably
miss me. I also got melted a
little bit when i was sitting
in the light.

Your friend pink crayon,

Jacob Neal

Dear Duncan,

I don,t know if you remember me.I was sitting with you on the
couch one day,and i fell into a really dark place, with some
pretzels, a few M&Ms, and some coins. I hope you come find me
soon, so we can paint the sky blue again.

Bluefully yours,
Your still sharp crayon Blue

Jaik Norber

I have to live with her and it sucks because all we
get to do is sit in her mouth and make seal sounds.

My name is

My Owner
crushed me up
and melted me
and crushed me
up again.
