Dear Oak,
Our visitor today had a plan. They were going to move the sandbox mountain using the front loader. It was slow going. Others came to help. Then they switched to a bucket and a scoop. Once they’d filled the bucket, instead of moving the sand from the mountain to a low spot, they smoothed a spot and made a sand castle.
The sand castle crumbled. They figured they needed more water. Then one of you helped add water to the sand. I kept trying to move the mountain. I made my hands into a front loader. Then I used my big feet. One of you came to help me.
I was booming the mountain with my feet. In the Hello/Goodbye Yard I jumped. I invited you to climb on me. You did. All of these things help me feel good in my body. Sometimes when we don’t feel good in our bodies, we boom. These are things I do instead. Some of us wear head phones to help. I wonder what you do.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
