Dear Mulberry,
It’s not a box. It’s a castle, a train car, a dino cage? I wonder what it could be? It’s big. It looks cozy with all those blankets. Thunk! It thunks when you hit it. Thunk! It thunks when you kick it.
What happens when you thunk it with a stick. Oh. That looks like a hole, a small hole. Oh. That looks like the sides are starting to fall in. Pause, a second.
We took a survey. All but two of us decided that we still wanted to play with the large, cozy thing that’s not a box, so we found some boxes to thunk and poke. They weren’t quite as much fun to thunk and poke.
There’s the sandbox. It’s not a sandbox. I wonder what it could be.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
