A Crazy Day
Today was “one of those days”. The morning started off exceptionally well. The kids were great and we cruised right along in our reviewing and reading of The Most Dangerous Game. The Yearbook students are making a world of progress in their work selling yearbooks – this week is the cheapest time to purchase a Governor Yearbook so check out CBAYearbook.com.
Then fourth block rolled around and the planets must have been in perfect alignment for everything to happen at once. A young lady cut her finger on her binder. This was not your normal paper cut. Another young lady with a low tolerance for this type issue was upset and got sick. While all this was going on, the class worked on their vocabulary so it wouldn’t be homework. The housekeepers came in to clean up. Mrs. Overby came in to help out as a first responder. And 30 minutes into the process we had just about gotten everything ready to move forward. Then we had a fire drill. So when we get back we have a couple of administrators stop in to check and make sure everything was ok and a phone call or two to make to keep the parents informed. Then as we began again to get underway several of the students left for an orientation at the Media Center. And then the sneezing started. Being a person who has some allergy issues I feel for the kids when they begin the sneezing. They can’t help it and some of us are louder than others in that department.
I can say for the most part the kids handled it all very well today. They were helpful and very kind to each other and along with their flexibility this attribute will serve them well in life.
The thing I still love most about my job besides watching the students grow up and become positive and enthusiastic individuals is that no day is ever just a routine. Tomorrow will present even greater opportunities...
