Dear Grandma and Grandpa, How are you? I am doing
fine. What's new? I've been enjoying my summer. I
have a paper route to earn some extra money. I am
putting some of it in the college fund that you
started for me. Besides my paper route, I've been
taking swimming lessons from Uncle Vincent. I
asked him to help me with my front crawl. I
always seem to get water in my nose and mouth
whenever I do that stroke. I'm really good at
swimming the backstroke and the dog paddle. And,
if I ever get into any real trouble in the water,
I can always tread water. How's the weather in
Florida? Here in Georgia it's been very warm. To
keep cool, I've been running through the
sprinkler and drinking lots of lemonade. I'm
thinking of opening a lemonade stand after my
swimming lesson today. School starts in about
four weeks. I'm going to be in 3rd grade. Can you
believe it? My teacher will be Mrs. Reese. I have
heard that she is very nice and makes you work
really hard. I will do my best to make you proud
of me. Mom says that if I keep my grades up that
I can take flute lessons at school. I want to be
able to play a song or two for you when you come
for the holidays. I can't wait to see the two of
you. You might not be able to recognize me!
Maybe, I'll wear a nametag! I've grown two inches
and I have grown my hair to my shoulders.
Finally, Mom has let me grow my hair to where I
want it. Now, I can wear my fancy barrettes and
put my hair in a ponytail. Well, that's all for
now. Give each other a hug from me. Keep healthy
and keep safe. With love, Marybeth

The big day had finally come for five-year-old
Elena. She was going to ride her bike without
training wheels for the first time. Elena knew
her twin siblings, Tomas and Carlotta, had
learned to ride without training wheels when they
were five. She knew she could do it, too. Tomas
got the pliers from the toolbox and took off the
training wheels. Carlotta helped Elena get
started. She was shaking like a leaf and fell
four times. Tomas told Elena that he would buy
her an ice cream cone if she didn't give up.
Carlotta ran along beside her saying, "You can do
it, keep pedaling! Every day Elena practiced
riding her bike. Finally, after seven days, she
got so good she was able to ride to the ice cream
parlor with her siblings

One evening, Polly's mom reminded her to make her
lunch for the next day. "But I don't know what to
fix, Polly said. "That really surprises me,
Polly," Mom said, "You ate peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches for lunch all summer. You make
them every weekend, and sometimes for after
school snacks. Why is this such a hard choice for
you? "They don't taste as good at school. The
jelly comes through the bread and they get all
sticky. Then my hands get messy. I just don't
like it. Mom thought for a while. "Let's go in
the kitchen and figure this one out," she said to
Polly. They went in the kitchen and got out
peanut butter, strawberry jelly, and bread. Mom
said, "Tell me how you make your sandwiches. "I
get two slices of bread. I spread one with peanut
butter and the other with jelly. Then I put them
together and cut them in half. When I'm done, I
put them in a plastic bag and in my lunch box,"
Polly reported. "Good. Now does the jelly come
through both slices of bread?" asked Mom. "Hmm.
Let me think. I think that the jelly only comes
through the slice I put it on. Click to the next

The peanut butter slice doesn't get sticky," said
Polly. "Waitthat gives me an idea! Polly set to
work on making a sandwich. She got out two slices
of bread. She put peanut butter on both
slices, then spread jelly on only one slice. Then
she put the slices of bread together and cut the
sandwich in half. "What did you do that was
different?" Mom asked. "I put peanut butter on
both slices of bread. That might keep the jelly
from soaking through." Polly said. "Great idea,
Polly. I think you may have solved the problem,"
Mom said. After school the next day, Mom asked
Polly how her sandwich had been. "It was great,
Mom. No sticky fingers!" Polly reported. Mom
smiled. "I'm glad you solved that problem, Polly.
Sometimes you only have to make a little change
to make a big difference.
