Reader Description

Workers are building a new classroom at Tyler's school. When the workers discover a time capsule under the old classroom, the children have the chance to find out about the town's past, and leave another message for the children of the future.

After you have completed the Reader

You can make your own time capsule, like the children in this story. Collect things that will help someone in the future understand what life is like today. You could find a photograph, a coin, and some newspaper articles. Write a special message. You could hide it, like the children in the story, or put it away and open it later.
