- We will begin writing to our new penpals, students at Vienna Christian School in Vienna, Austria. They come from many different countries and we are excited to learn about their home cultures! I've learned that our new friends love Jolly Ranchers, so if you'd like to donate a small pack of them to send with our first letters that would be fine (please send them with your child by Friday).
- Third graders are beginning a reading incentive program to correspond with our new literature unit, Money. For every 10 minutes spent reading, students may earn $1, which can be spent in the "store" at designated times throughout our unit. Check your child's planner for the "timeslip", which will be due every Monday.
- It is the 12th week for spelling words, which means this is a review week. Any spelling words your child has this week are words that were previously missed, either on the Monday pre-test or the Friday spelling test. Some students have no words at all. Spelling homework still applies to any student who has words in their planner (except ABC order, which can't be done with one word).

Dear Rachel,
Is this reading to be done at home, and do the kids choose whatever they would like to read?
Will they be writing their letters at school, or at home?
Keep up the good work.
Yes, the reading is meant to be done at home and the students may choose whatever they'd like to read.
We will work on letters here in class but students may spend extra time on them at home if they wish.
