Thank you for your note, Maximillian, you were the first!

I enjoy reading in the evening as well. It's a great way to relax and focus on a good book. The Little Prince is a classic!

I wish I knew how to play the piano. How long have you played? Do you have any pets?

Have a good weekend!

Hi Ariel,

Thank you for your comment. I've heard about the Wings of Fire books, but I don't know much about them. What do you like best about the series? Percy Jackson is a great series too!

Rock climbing, whoa! That's great, I want to hear more about that!

Thanks again, Ariel! -
From, Mr. Wolfe


Hi Oliver,

That's great you like the Wings of Fire series too!

What position do you usually play in Soccer? Do you like the Sounders? I do!

Have a good day, Oliver!
From, Mr. Wolfe



Hi Maggie,

I love the Ramona series! I've read them as well as listened to them on audio books. Have you? The narrator for the audio books is awesome! Have you mom and dad check them out if they haven't already.

That's super you're taking piano lessons. That is one thing I've always wanted to learn to do. My daughters took lessons too. What song are you working on?

Enjoy the sun today, Maggie!
From, Mr. Wolfe




Thanks for your note, Silas.

It sounds like you enjoy graphic novels? Thanks for asking for a suggestion. Have you read the Amulet series? A lot of readers in my class last year really enjoyed that. I like that you're enjoying the Narnia series with your parents. It's fun to hear different people read and the expression and voices they use.

Have a great day!
From, Mr. Wolfe



Hi there, Brody!

What kinds of things do you do when you play with your cousins? I loved growing up with my cousins and have good memories of sleep-overs, riding bikes, and sending each other letters in the mail.

What was your book, Wedgie & Gizmo about?

I look forward to hearing from you, Brody.
From, Mr. Wolfe




Good Day Luca!
Thank you for your note. Legos are awesome, aren't they?! Would you believe I have most of mine still from when I was a kid.

Where did you go hiking this summer? Two hikes I went on are the Naches Loop and Fremont Lookout.

I keep hearing about this series, Mr. Wolf's Class, I'm going to have to check it out.

Have a good day!
From, Mr. Wolfe




Hi Kalei,

Thank you for writing. The Magic Tree House series is definitely a good one, and there are so many choices!

Did you go camping more than once this summer? I didn't go, but I was able to go on some good hikes.

Friday Night Movie Nights sound fun - We had them at our home and we had a concessions stand where the kids could buy treats and prizes. What do you do at yours?

I hope you're having a good weekend, Kalei!
From, Mr. Wolfe




Hi Charley!

Montana sounds like it was super! You were able to do so many things, how fun is that?! You're grandparents must be pretty wonderful!

What kind of books do you like? Do you need any suggestions?

I like kayaking a lot too. I usually kayak on the Puget Sound, but this year I was able to kayak a river - I liked it!

I'm looking forward to our year together.
From, Mr. Wolfe




Hi Avery,

Thank you for writing. Boat camping sounds awesome - I've never done that type of camping before.

Your hamster, Summer, does sound funny. I had hamsters growing up too, but mine were escape artists!

Are the babysitter books you're reading the graphic novel versions? Let me know, and have a good day!

From, Mr. Wolfe




Hi Owen,

Look at your sharing links to do drawing projects - fun!

How long have you played the piano?

Tell me more about the projects you like to work on, please. :)

I don't know the Lemoncello books, I'm going to have to look into those.

Have a good day, Owen!

Hello Mia,

Fostering kittens sounds like a great way to enjoy a cat, while also deciding if you're ready to have one all the time. Good for you!

I like the Judy Moody books too. She can get herself into some real trouble when she gets into one of her moods, can't she?

Thanks for posting!
