I have a chapter book that is special” – J

Dear Oak,

You found green fruit on the ground. It was split open. I thought it might be from an almond tree. I wonder what you thought it was. We were on our adventure walk. We’d gone East towards where the sun shines in the morning. Then we headed North over the bridge with no water beneath.

The grass was too tall to go further that way because we wouldn’t have been able to see our feet or our scared rattlesnake cousins hiding in the tall grass. So we turned back. We passed the amphitheater and went towards where the horse was and the tall mounds of mulch. You climbed the gate. I climbed the mulch. We all climbed the mulch.

Then we went to the pond and looked across the water towards the Goose Toilet. There were no geese, but there were lots of our tree swallow family swooping and diving. We went down to the Goose Toilet. We watched out for Miss Sneaky Oak who is poisonous and sings, “This is my space.”

On the way back, we found the tree with the green fruit. You collected as many as you could hold from around the bottom of the tree. I picked one for each of you. Papa John thought they might be walnuts. I wonder.

Love,
Teacher Michelle
