Dear Mr. Fraser

This archeology dig was the best. My favourite parts were putting the plate made of paper back together, cleaning the artefacts that other kids found and digging for the artefacts. I was surprised to hear that the bath tub they used was still in the house that the Lafleur's lived in.

Thank you for letting me have the best field trip ever! If I would get another chance to go I would definitely to because it was the best!!

Thanks, Kathryn
