2nd-Graders' Top 10 Lists for Letterman

Concerned about the Writer's Guild of America strike that is affecting several popular television shows, some talented and caring second-grade students in Dayton decided to offer writing assistance to David Letterman, who hosts a late night talk show on CBS. In the spirit of giving, the young people of St. Anthony Elementary school composed a list of the top 10 good things you can do to be kind to others during the Christmas season. Letterman's nightly top 10 list is a tradition on his program and usually pokes fun at stories or individuals in the news. The children's suggestions are much "softer" than the ones Letterman's writers might offer him. Read some of their lists here.
