School Let Out Early
On Friday, I was able to witness what happens in the event of school closing early because of the weather. It started snowing about 9am and there was no sign of it stopping until after school is supposed to be let out. They decided to close the school at 11:05am. When my coordinating teacher found out, she had to frantically find all of the students emergency school closing slips that tell how/where they are supposed to go to get home. The kids in the class all came back from gym/music and were ECSTATIC to see the snow outside. They all rushed to the window to see the snow. The school had to also change the times for lunch, and the lunches were to be eaten in the classroom. They switched up all of the times to make sure the kids were able to get the food. It was a little hectic, but all of the kids were super excited. My teacher had to adjust her teaching schedule a little bit, but was able to get in what she wanted for the day with the allotted time.

My class was excited to go home early on Friday as well. Luckily, my cooperate teacher has made a point my first week that the students needed to return their form in which would say where each student is to go during a school cancellation, i.e. bus or to be picked up. I thought this was a great learning opportunity in how to be flexible. We weren't able to get through everything we wanted for Friday, but tomorrow will show more of what happens when schools close early.
