So Katina has had to get used to working on Fridays again. Last year at her school, she only worked Monday thru Thursday. This year she has to work on Fridays also. Fridays are a short day and absolutely chaotic! Today was picture day, computer day, hearing test day, and the day before a three-day weekend. Her 6th grade class has 30 students, 5 of them with severe behavioral problems. She has even joked about becoming an alcoholic to deal with the stress of dealing with these yahoos.
A weird thing did happen today. They made an announcement over the intercom this morning asking any teachers with fans to bring them to the office. When I went down there to make copies, I found out that a fire extinguisher had fallen off the wall and exploded in a room full of 5th-graders. The teacher was covered with foam and all the backpacks, desks, and books were white. That class spent all day cleaning the room. The principal said it was his first time to see this happen in all his years of administration. It turns out that either the janitors of extinguisher company put the wrong screws in the wall holder. Look out for those extinguishers--they can be dangerous!
