Today is another half day. The people that have hot lunch go down right after first recess. The people with cold lunch get their lunches and go down to join them. The hot lunches came in bags. But this time they didn’t cook it. The lunch lady just made it. It was a tuna sandwich with tiny pickle squares in it. They were as tiny as pencil erasers. There was a mini bag of Doritos. There was strawberry applesauce and an M&M cookie. It was delicious.

Levi is moving to his new house. He is moving to a new school, too. He is moving to Seattle. We got him a book. It’s a poem book about animals. It’s called Rumble in the Jungle. It'’s by Giles Andreae. We wrote our names and messages in it so he would remember his class. Tomorrow he is going to visit his new school. We hope he makes lots of new friends. We hope he'’ll come back and visit us. We will really miss him. Goodbye, Levi.

We went to the book fair. It was fun. We picked out the books that we liked, and then we wrote them down on a piece of paper. Some people had to have two pieces of paper because they wanted a lot of books; some people only needed one piece. Now we’re going to take the lists home. Then we’re going to show it to our dads, or moms, or whoever. Then we’ll ask if someone will buy books for us. We can bring the money back to school tomorrow, or Friday, or next Monday, or next Tuesday if we want to buy the book.

We did science using water and air yesterday. We used water and we could put vials inside of the water and it would make bubbles come up out of the water. The bubbles in the vial were air. When we put the vial in the basin sideways, then it will make make big bubbles, if you force it in. One thing we did was put a paper towel in the bottom of the vial. We put it into the water and tried to keep the paper towel dry. It is easier to block the opening with your hand than to just plunge it in when you’re trying to keep the paper towel dry. We learned that when you put a towel into a vial and you stick the vial upside down in the water, the towel won’t get wet, even if you move the vial around.
