Break

On the campus of Calhoun Middle School, In the Language and Literature class of Mr. Moore,

the students were working hard revising and editing their position papers. It was so quiet in the

class that you could hear the clock tick “tick-tock-tick-tock”, the students waited and waited for the clock to turn on 1:05 pm. They were anxiously waiting to go on a break from doing the work. 

Mr.Moore stopped them in the middle of their work time to teach a quick lesson on revise and edit, but students were disengaged and ready to leave. Witnesses could tell in the student's faces that they were so done with the lecture you could stick a fork in them. Jason raised his hand nervously and asked, “When will it be time for our break?”Moore shockingly responded, “You have like 10 minutes left”.

Finally, the bell rang and the students got very happy but still had to wait. All you could hear in the hallway was footsteps, other students talking and laughing. Eventually, the students were out in the hallway playing and having fun.

However, the kids all started to make their way back in the classroom. One girl was on the stairs and jumped off the stairs and fell, on the last step and hit her head. The students gasp! And looked at her and asked “Are you ok”  as she laid there. Although, she jumped up as nothing had just happened and said: “Yes I'm ok”.The students told the teacher and the teacher sent her to the nurse to get ice for her head. She was ok but for the rest of the day, the students were worried if she had damaged herself.
