Tina's search of the lake area had been more successful than she expected, but she still needed a few more materials. A design for her sundial was already taking shape in her mind. She approached the pathways, walking with a sense of purpose. She knew exactly what she was looking for! Her dark eyes swept over the area and landed on a small pile of fallen leaves. Those would make nice hour lines! Tina bent and picked up several leaves and some blazes of grass too, depositing them in her bag.
While she was bent, she noticed an acorn cap laying on the ground. That gave her an idea! Now if only she could find three more of them... She looked around for more acorn caps, eventually finding some underneath a nearby oak tree. Into the bag they went! Now all she needed was a long stick, but exactly how long was it supposed to be? Kennedy didn't say...
Looked like she'd just have to guess and hope for the best! Tina decided the best strategy was to find a stick a bit longer than what she thought she'd need; she could always break it into a shorter piece if she needed to. So far, she'd only seen several twigs and a few sticks about a foot long or less, probably too short to use. There was a large tree branch that was crooked and forked in the middle; that was no good either. She spied a few more stick a little farther up the path and wandered closer to get a good look. Here was one that looked promising! It was a sturdy, straight stick about 3/4 the length of her arm. Tina picked it up, but she didn't put it in her bag so as not to accidentally break it. Carrying the stick in her hand, she turned and started back to class.
