Hurricane Sandy Part 14

Things feel crazy right now.

Our school still doesn't have power although a few in the area do. Our principal arranged for classes to be held in different houses, but I didn't find out for sure this would happen until an hour and a half before it was happening and most teachers were unavailable to teach. I was home with no materials to speak of. Thankfully, I'm a hoarder. In my home office I found several piles of printouts and things that I'd been telling myself for years to throw out. Now I'm glad I kept them. I taught in not one, but two, different houses, racing between them and dropping ND off at a third house for kindergarten.

The kids were fairly off-the-wall, but when I took out a read-aloud, you could have heard a pin drop. How we are craving our regular routines!

Tomorrow will be similar except that many of the classes at least will be housed at a single location (a local shul). I didn't know for sure if I was needed until 10 o'clock tonight. I have pulled together a few things. I hope it's enough. I feel proud at the end of the day to help, but I don't like living minute to minute like this.
