On Thursday, my school (as all throughout the state) participated in a massive disaster drill. I understand the need to do drills like this, but it's always during the same period. So, heaven forbid, something were to happen during a different time of day, the students wouldn't know where THAT class is supposed to go.
Anyway, knowing in advance I had my clipboard ready with the emergency report form I was to turn in when we reached our evacuation site. I also had my hat (It's hot out there and my hair traps in all that heat!) and, of course, my notebook.
After taking attendance and turning in the form, all we could do was wait. Students took pictures, hung out, wandered to see their friends. I let my mind wander and before I knew it, I had to open up my notebook and start writing. I think I can write anywhere, anytime. Waiting for a table or my food at a restaurant or waiting on the soccer field to be let back in my classroom so I can continue class - doesn't matter, I can write and enjoy those little moments to do it.
