Dear Oak,
Just as I was sure you had finished exploring and making concoctions with the magic powder and colors and cream, you surprised me today.
We had some visitors, and I was talking to the grownup about our school when I felt a tug on my hand to come and look. You wanted to show me something. Our 2nd grade visitor urged me to come too.
You pointed to a jar full to the top of bubbles. There was only about a 1/4 inch of green at the bottom, the color of the beetle’s belly from morning news. The bubbles seemed to be growing as I watched, piling up ontop of each other over the top rim of the jar.
You added more liquid. It kept bubbling. You put in a funnel, and bubbles and liquid poured over the side. You added more liquid and pointed. There were bubbles rising in the funnel. I wonder how. I wonder why.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
