Excitement was the name of the game today on this last day before break. We had a fire alarm (not a fire drill!), we got to watch Wreck-It Ralph, a sub for two hours this morning, a split class during specials, and one very ripped Silent Bear.
First of all, the alarm turned out to be nothing, but there was a suspicious smell that permeated parts of the building, and they wanted the fire station to come and check it out. We got to stand outside (it kind of spit down rain at its worst, but for most of it, it was just cloudy). The kids will come home and tell you that we stood outside for an hour and a half, but the truth is that it was only half an hour.
My sub from this morning was very complimentary toward the class, and all assignments were finished this morning as planned. One of the things I said they could do as they finished up their work was a game of Silent Bear. It turns out that when Mr. Carter isn't present, Silent Bear becomes much more violent, and we have a little torn bear as a result. No one really fessed up, so I had to tell the kids that until I find out the truth, there will be no more games of Silent Bear.
Unfortunately, our little catastrophe mode preempted the movie, but at least we now have memories of everyone huddled around outside and waving at the firetrucks as they arrived at Woodbrook. The school didn't blow up (despite the kids' guesses that it might), and it didn't start pouring down rain (the kids' other guess).
Life happened today! Hope everyone has a fantastic break lined up ahead.
