Today was so crazy. We had a fire alarm. It wasn't a drill either. It was for real. My class was about to go outside. All of a sudden, the fire alarm started screeching. I looked at the other teacher and said, "Are we scheduled to have a fire drill today?" She said, "No. It may just be a surprise one." I wasn't sure about that. We are always told about fire drills.
The kids got in line quickly and went outside without any trouble. The last two times that we had drills, several kids joked around and got into trouble. No one acted out this time. I think they realized something had to be up because they hadn't been told that we were having a fire drill.
We were outside for awhile. Two fire trucks and an ambulance came out to the school. It was kind of cool.
When we finally found out what had started the fire, we were all laughing. One of the teachers had burned some popcorn. She put the bag in a sink full of water and the steam caused the room to fill with smoke. The smoke set off the smoke detectors. The fire department had to come out and over ride the fire alarm.
They had to open the doors and turn fans on in the hallway to get the burn smell out of the school. It was crazy.
Someone was up to some Halloween trickery!
