This is what I thought the hotel was gonna look like. If you look at one of the squares and then you look at the other one … 10i. See? 10, i. But, if you do like 12k … it goes to this square.
Charlie points to a letter at the top of the piece of graph paper. He points to a number along the side. One finger traces down the column and his other finger meets it by following across the row.
What’s that? Is it a robot carrying all the fish? Lyla
Why are all the numbers and letters here? Arya
Where’s the swimming pool? Chester
Do you have to do a hotel or can it be other things too? Lauri
Is that robot kinda one of those guys in aquariums to get food for fish? Sevi
What’s that little house thing in the middle? Birdie
So are the fish swimming into the tank to get back to the shore? Jane
It’s an underwater sub. H11. Charlie
So I can find the squares easily. So I don’t have to go 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 … it’s easier. Charlie
There isn’t one. Because it’s underwater. The whole thing’s on a deck and there’s water under. Charlie
It can be anything. Charlie
It is an underwater sub that collects shells and brings them up. Charlie
That;s the tank so the fishes don’t get out. You have to spin that to get in and then spin it back. Charlie
That’s a dead fish if you’re asking. Charlie
Maren holds a circular piece of black paper in her hands. On one side, the outlines of other colorful circles seem to pop against the dark background.
Yesterday I was drawing and then Lauri drawed white circles with a pencil and I was like, “Lauri, can I add color?” and she said yes.
Is that made out of chalk or something? Charlie
Did you ask Lauri if you could draw? Lyla
That was in the story.
Were you listening?
You have a broken ear.
???
Why are there not so many circles? Arya
Why are all those circles different colors? Sevi
No, pencil. White pencil and then color. Maren
Yes, I did. Maren
I put the thin marker. Maren
I don’t know. You could ask Lauri that. Maren
I wanted to make different colors. Maren
Later at the drawing table...
