Olivia in our class has been away for the last couple of weeks, recovering from having her tonsils removed. Tonsils are lumps of tissue in your mouth that act as germ fighters for your body. Sometimes they get infected, though, and need to be taken out. I asked Olivia to write to us so that we could hear what she has learned.
Dear Mrs. Kostiuk & Class,
So you wanted me to tell you about tonsils. Well first I want to tell where your tonsils are, they are in your throat:
If you open your mouth really wide you may see them.
What you can eat while recovering is soup but it cannot be very hot or else your scabs on your throat will come off and you do not want that to happen. You can also eat popsicles, ice cream, jello and pudding but nothing red because you might mistake it as blood and that is not good.
The reason that I got my tonsils out is because my throat would hurt a lot.
From your friend,
Olivia

Dear Olivia
How are you doing? I wonder if I will have to get my tonsils token out too or if I am not going to at all. I don’t Know if I have my tonsils token out or not. But I think that they are and if they are the I don’t remember ( at all). Did you know that you were going to get your tonsils token out or was it a first notice?
From Presley
Dear Olivia,
