We learn about observation:

• 2:18:32 PM — We pretend to not observe the photographer who is observing us.
• 2:19:14 PM — We may not simply look directly into the box.
• 2:19:26 PM — Nor may we blindly guess what it might be.
• 2:19:42 PM — Instead, we must make observations.

• 2:38:42 PM — We observe: is it soft or hard?
• 2:40:20 PM — We observe: is it smooth or rough, moist or dry?

The Rest of Our Day:

We finish up our class day with AR — accelerated reading. This is a program where everybody reads from a book of their choice. Students, classes and the whole school earn points for how much everyone reads.

Note from photographer: Since everyone had their nose in a book and all I could catch were the tops of their heads, I just put my camera away, borrowed a book and joined them instead.
