A Canadian in America...

What was I going to write?

I seriously don't remember.....

I'm just sitting here, but I have to get ready to go to band soon. Work is much happier this week, but it will be sad again after next week because my co-teacher is leaving me. Sigh.

I thought I was going to write something funny about my day, but nothing comes to mind right now. Ooooh, maybe it was this story.
Today we decided to go outside even though it looked really dark and yucky out. It wasn't really raining, and when we got out there (bundled up in snowpants and boots because it snowed a bit last night) it felt really nice out. But then it started sprinkling, and then I saw lightning. SO, we got all the kids together and went to Roosevelt instead. Well, thank goodness we did because it started pouring and pouring. We got inside just in time!!! So, we walked to find an empty classroom, found one, had the kids take JUST their jackets, hats and mittens off (and MAN were some of them confused about why they still had their snowpants and boots on) and then had them run around and play. But then the Thunder and Lightning started. Sigh. Not only were the kids afraid of the Thunder (although we tried to convince them there was nothing to be afraid of), but the power went out, briefly, and we were left in a few seconds of utter and total darkness. Yup. We were in a classroom with NO windows, and therefore NO light. Imagine being in a closed room with tables and chairs at head height (for the two year olds) and not being able to see. Well thank goodness it was only a few seconds. Deana and I decided to move to a classroom with windows in case that happened again. Smart Idea.
So that's my story of the day!!! And now I must go to band. Goodbye!
