Dear Mulberry,
You dug a riverbed and made a dam. You planned to feed the hose through the dam for the water to flow from the dam along the river. Two others dug caverns. One said that there were monsters and spiders and minerals in the cavern.
When everyone was ready, I turned the water on. The water burst the riverbed and flowed into one cavern. I think you dug a canal between the river and the other when that cavern digger wanted to fill his.
A few people wanted to be in the river. You didn’t want them to be in the river. Our newest classmate just knew that they loved water and smiled and even sang out as they tried to keep their balance in the moving riverbed.
I let you know that I was turning the volume of water down, so we could use just what we need and save water for others. You wanted more water and no bodies in the river, and you figured out how to make it work with less water and some bodies.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
