Students from multiple elementary schools filled the high school auditorium to the brim, and every time the lights were doused for a scene change, the building erupted in screaming and yelling. Mostly, the students in our class behaved and did not participate in the mayhem (even though I know some were tempted). I was proud to see their self-restraint as they strained to hear the dialogue from the stage. After that, with a trip through the hallways of the high school to get to our bus, a quick reminder - that we were in a school and hallway procedures should still be in effect - was all it took to get everybody to respect the students still in classes at the school. It's one more reason to believe we are making progress in Room 404!
The third and fourth grade classes from Cecil Floyd attended the high school children's play, last Thursday. I've always known Lewis Carroll's Alice and Wonderland to be a strange concoction of obnoxious and annoying characters and a strange, sometimes disturbing storyline, but every time I see a version of it, it just becomes more so.
