Well I can tell you this: IT'S. NOT. FUN!!
This morning one of my preschoolers decided the fire extinguisher made a great toy. The extinguisher then fell and went off. So, all my kids, the kindergartners. and part of the 1st and 2nd grade class were all covered with the smoke/dust. This then lead to the fire alarm going off. We ended up having school wide half hour recess for about a half hour and then about an hour of movies before finally getting all the kids settled for lunch.
Talk about a crazy morning!! Tonight and tomorrow will be devoted to cleaning my entire classroom, toys, hallway... EVERYTHING. Anyone who is willing to help is more than welcome to come join! :)
Moral of the story: Preschoolers and fire extinguishers don't mix.
Who knew this combination could lead to so much chaos?!?! Ha ha ha ha......

Haha! This was really funny! Even though it was a pain, it probably made for an interesting morning :)
ReplyDelete(I secretly have always wanted to grab one off the wall and try it out - guess I'm not any better than your preschooler! lol) It's obviously not all it's cracked up to be - at least not in your school! Sorry about that awful mess you have to clean up now. :(
