    When is the personal reading letter due so I can write it down. I had a great 1st quarter so I'm sure it'll be a super great 2nd quarter.

    Will we be pen pals with 5th graders or 6th?

    Let's see, Alex. Mr. Buxton taught last years fifth graders, he is no longer at Charlotte Latin School to teach, and we are going to be pen pals with his most recent class before us. We are obviously going to be pen pals with 6th graders!

    Did you know that I never have had a boy buddy or pen-pal!
