Today was a special day in Ms. Smith's class. Some of the children were walking around the room, some of them were standing in small groups, and some of them were at their desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard mailboxes.

Samaya blushed and played with her hair. While this was happening, Aiden was frantically trying to put a small white envelope into everyone's mailbox. After giving one to Ms. Smith, Aiden pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his pocket. He blushed and tried to put it in Samaya's mailbox, but it wouldn't quite fit.
