Archaeology Day!

Hi Mama,

Only 4 more whole days! When you get back I'm going to kiss you one hundred million zillion times!

Today at school, Dada came in to IPW and taught us about archaeology. He brought in some artifacts too! I was Dada's field assistant, and I was in charge of laying all the artifacts out and getting ready. And I was also in charge of telling them all about what you found on your dig, like the table for feasting and the baby pig bones and the Egyptian coins around the table. We even saw Roger on our way to school! (That's why we were a little bit late.) He thought it was really funny that we were walking around with all these artifacts. At the archaeology day, the students had 30 questions about what Dada dug up. We also set up a pretend archaeology site called the "KC site". On the site there was glue and envelopes, and there was piece of a heart that was cut out, and a stamp. They had to figure out what the date was when someone left all that trash there. We figured out that it was February 14--Valentine's Day. And everyone had to draw a map of the site and fill out a form. Another student from K-A wanted Dada to put the trowel in his back pocket and make a hole, because Dada said that archaeologists always have holes in their pocket from putting the trowel in wrong. I also dug up a block after Dada left. After that, I made a sketch of what the block looked like. At the end, when we've done all of the sketching, we're going to put it together and make a notebook.

I love you a million zillion meters longer than the universe!

Love,

Julia
