Dear Oak,
Thank you for a beautiful first day of Oak. The sand in the sandbox was dry, sandy, and dusty on top and hard underneath.
That didn’t stop you from cooking and sharing your creations. I ate a strawberry cake with a strawberry on top and drank a special drink one of you described and another made. You argued for eating the cake first and then dinner. Someone else made a big pot of soup, and another made cupcakes. Yummy!
In the meantime, I used the big shovel to fluff the sand, and you helped by chucking the sand in the thump bin. I like the thump it makes. You helped and swept the sand from the edge of the sandbox keeping it low and safe.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
