Tornado Fun (NOT)

It's been another busy week and especially with our CBA's and the tornado.  It was loads of fun sitting in the hallway for three hours.  Actually we were just out there for a little over an hour.  After school the rest of us who were still at school spent another thirty minutes or more in the hallway. What a scary day. Rest assured that I did a lot of comforting and encouraging.  I had some students crying, some scared but quiet, some who thought it was great excitement and others who had no idea what was going on.  They all read a lot of books while waiting.  I am just so grateful that we were safe. Mrs. Mingle and Mr. Burger did a fantastic job of encouraging the kids and telling them that they were doing what they needed to do to be safe.  That made my class feel better about the whole thing.
