| Our notes from X |
Today we suddenly heard loud banging at our door. I peaked out in the hallway, but didn't see anyone. At our doorstep was a black box marked "Top Secret" with a note on it. The class agreed that we should open the note. It said, "Dear time travelers, Here are some travel materials. Use them wisely. - X". We had so many questions! Who is X? How does she or he know we're time travelers? How will these materials help us? We studied what was in the box and saw three materials - travel rods, time-connecting string, and time circles (like a clock!). We figured that maybe by combining those three materials we could create a time traveling device.

| Our time travel devices |
We created personal time traveling devices using the materials. Suddenly, though, a first grader walked into the room. She had a note for us - from X! - that had accidentally been delivered to Room 401 instead of Room 402. We rushed to the rug to read the note. It said, "Connect behind you. See the past. Reach forward. Love. - X" We thought for a while about what this note might mean. We decided they must be directions for how to travel! We stood in a circle. We first held our time travel devices behind our back. ("Connect behind you.") The we closed our eyes. ("See the past.") Then we held our devices out in front of us. ("Reach forward.") Finally we pulled them close to our hearts. ("Love.") We felt some shaking in our bodies! Our knees were quaking! Whoa! We think we've figured it out. Later this week we'll attempt to travel to the year 1514 to start learning about the past in Manhattan.
