Off. The. Chain.

Wow - the whole school was wound up today. Well, the kids; not the teachers. All the regular classroom teachers were in a meeting today, so the school was full of substitutes. All the assistants were yelling at the kids; the children were just that off the hook. I commented to my assistant that it was as if someone fed all the kids a bowl of crazy for breakfast. (Actually, it was Pop-Tarts, but same diff for hyperactive little people!)

And the day draaaggged on . . . but finally 4:00 arrived. Everyone agreed it was a long, slow day.

One cute story: the train runs behind the school, and we were out on the playground when it came through. All the little people raced over to the fence as soon as they heard the whistle (as if it doesn't come through at least twice a day every day of their little lives!). They were jumping up and down excited, and I had them all wave like mad as the train passed the school. The engineer is nice and always toots the horn and waves to them. I hope going past the preschool is the high point of his ride!
