shares

I started this weblog post service on Friday, just exhaustion won over finishing this post.  Friday started out equally a normal schoolhouse day.  First hour, my Algebra 1 students took a quiz over dividing radicals.  Then, nosotros started i of my favorite units of the year: polynomials.

Second hour, nosotros had our much anticipated egg drop.  It didn't acquire just equally planned, just nosotros made it work.  It turns out that if you lot don't driblet the eggs on concrete that ALL of the eggs survive.  Lesson learned!

Third hour, my math concepts students began to tumble out divisibility rules.  This was going kinda well.  The kids were getting a chip frustrated, just I'm non certain if it was the divisibility rules causing the problem or the worksheet I had chosen.

Then, everything changed when a pupil brought something to my desk to inquire what it was.  She had flora it laying on the flooring nether the table.  It was a bullet.  Or, at to the lowest degree I idea it was a bullet.  A few of my other students gathered roughly my desk, in addition to nosotros each took turns looking at it trying to figure out if it was actually a bullet.

Once I was 99% certain it was a bullet, I left my classroom inward search of the principal.  As I was walking out the door of my classroom, i of my kids started to freak that his fingerprints were right away on the bullet.  He begged me to wipe off his fingerprints earlier I turned it in.

I flora my principal afterwards a chip of searching, in addition to he confirmed that it was a .22 caliber bullet.  This was tertiary hour, in addition to my room had been vacuumed during 7th stream the previous day.  This meant that the bullet must belong to i of the students inward my kickoff threescore minutes or 2nd hour.

After questioning each pupil inward my kickoff ii classes of the day, the principal announced that if the possessor of the bullet did non come upward frontward that nosotros would convey to acquire on lock-down in addition to acquire the police pull involved.

Nobody came forward, in addition to then nosotros did terminate upward going on lock-down.  Students were non allowed to exit the classroom they were inward until the lock-down was over.  This is the type of matter they don't learn you lot to bargain amongst inward college.  How produce you lot comfort students when they are expressing their fears that in that place could live a schoolhouse shooting?

We remained on lock-down spell the police pull went from room to room searching each each students' handbag in addition to pockets.  This meant that our middle schoolhouse students missed their tiffin period.  Our high schoolhouse students missed the kickoff one-half or in addition to then of their tiffin period.  Students were given an extended tiffin stream which ended upward throwing off our bird correct afterwards lunch.

I am thankful that my schoolhouse took this number seriously.  They lay our security earlier everything else,
I'm particularly thankful for this iii twenty-four hours weekend to recover from the exhaustion of a twenty-four hours spent on lock-down.  It's an sense I promise I never convey to acquire through again.
