A Week of Firsts

This was a week of firsts:
-First full week for our preschoolers (which really amounts to three half days)
-First back-to-school cold for our kindergartener, thankfully at the end of the week, so no school days missed
-And first lock-down drill

It was the latter that had me worried. On Thursday morning the parents received an e-mail indicateing that there had been a lock-down drill. That the school had to be prepared, and that some kids may be have been upset.  I immediately wondered how the teachers explained the drill to the kindergarten classes. My daughter has no idea what a gun is. What if she developed nightmares and sleepless nights...In the end I need not have worried. My daughter explained that there had been a game of hide and seek: the the principal was looking for a classroom with an unlocked door and the lights turned on. So they had to lock their door, turn out the lights, and be very quiet. And that's what they did. And the game lasted all of five minutes!
