School News: Leaves And Lockdown

Today in school they had a lock down drill. Isabel said that they took all their coats and placed them on the table, pushed in their chairs, closed the curtains, locked the doors, and hid. They had to keep really quite, in case there was a stranger that entered the school. “We were being safe” she said, “And I was really really quite, Momma.”

It’s just horrible that kids have to take extra precautions at school, which takes time away from them learning  what’s important and playing like I did when I went to school! Just being kids, not having to worry about scary things like that. I am very glad that the school has plans in place for all the kids to stay safe in case some wacko decides to enter their school…

Leaf rubbing. Can you see her leaves?

The special helper today was Ezzra and she’s a girl. She brought a big brown monkey for show and tell. For snack they had carrots and cheese sticks.
