Guess what? I went to see the New England Aquarium today. ( Valentina, I know you asked me about it!) It was awesome! Ms. Smith Willis and Mrs. Ogden were fascinated ( as was I) because there were penguins EVERYWHERE! There was a statue of one outside the aquarium when we first walked in and there were little statues sitting on the benches throughout the aquarium. Next to that was an outdoor tank with seals that were putting on shows for us. ( I think they liked Mrs. Ogden a lot) As soon as we walked in to the aquarium there was a HUGE area where the penguins lived. I thought of you guys the entire time since you are experts on them. They made a great deal of noise. What do you think they say to each other while we are all watching them?
Michael, Bean Town got it's name because back in colonial days, a favorite Boston food was beans baked in molasses for several hours. Today, Boston baked beans are rare - there are no companies in the city making it and only a few restaurants serve it, but it stuck to its name.
Ben, It took us about 5 hours to get to Boston yesterday. We took a bus. I read my book and listened to some of my music. Melissa, don't worry about your Alaska facts. We can work on them when we get back. John, Osci isn't with me, but I miss him. I still haven't gotten him anything yet. What do you think I should get him? Annie, I got your blog and Maggie's! Brian, I am so glad you learned about quotation marks. I can't wait to read your writing when I get back.
How is school going? I hope you are studying for Spanish! Don't forget tomorrow is a Dress Down Day and you need to bring in your Mind Benders #8. Some of you still need to bring in Mind Benders #7 because Mr. A. is going to go over both of them tomorrow. Tonight is your last night to read Polar Bears Past Bedtime. Did Jack and Annie solve the riddle yet? Can you believe you have already finished the book? I am so proud of all of you.How is Eskimo Boy going? Are you learning a lot about the differences between Norman and you? Can you believe he goes to the dentist in an airplane? That must be pretty cool! Isn't it interesting to learn about a boy who is the same age as you but lives each day very differently than we do in New Jersey? I can't wait to come back and talk with you guys about Norman.
Well, I'm very tired and I want to get a good night sleep for tomorrow. I think of you guys all day long and can't wait to see you on Monday. Be good and have a GREAT day tomorrow.
Miss you tons,
Mrs. Driscoll
