School Closed

United States
November 4, 2021 8:42am CST
Drive Little Miss to school today. There was an unusually long line of cars. I choose to drop her off after 8 a.m. to avoid the crowd. We were met by one of the teachers to let us know school was canceled for the day due to there being no water in the building. Kiddo does a happy dance in the backseat and we head for home. Now to keep her occupied while I try to get some housework done!!!

She’s got her tablet now. I let her use it on days like today. Otherwise she would be looking for things to do and bugging me every 15 minutes to stop what I am doing!

Oh no! Well a fun free day. My kids have off of school all the week because of voting and also because it’s the end of the first semester and teachers are doing conferences and finishing grading stuff.

@ElusiveButterfly this was voted by the parents but some do the parents are complaining that their fall break is weird because it’s typically at the being of October and it was at the end of October this year. It don’t mine it it was nice to have Halloween and not have the force the kids to get up early the next day.

I wonder what happened to the water. Was it really so cold last night that the pipes froze?

I was surprised when they didn't chose to do remote instead of just having it be a day off.

That must have been music to her little ears that school was cancelled for the day. I cannot imagine as I never heard those words when I got to school when I was young.

Well kids don't like school is a well known fact, but after lockdown some kids are eagerly waiting to go to school.

She in fact enjoys school. But she is no longer allowed to play as much in school now that she is in first grade,
