Airport Day

Last Friday the kids had airport day. The teachers had set up an airport in another building to teach them about airports. They made play passports the day before. They had passports, tickets and carry on bags. They were giving a lot of instructions about airports.

They had to stick together in family groups. The two younger classes that didn't have an older sibling were assigned to older children to watch. They were told about watching / hanging onto their bags. Lane lost his. He wasn't watching it and so it was stolen. But he was carrying his ticket and passport in his hand so he still got on the plane.

I want to brag on Tobias and how he has stepped up to the plate in being responsible. One little girl's bag was stolen and her passport and ticket were in it. Since she didn't have either she wasn't allowed to get on the plane. Tobias stayed with her. Actually her and her sister joined my kids and stuck together. Tobias said is she can't get on the plane then he wasn't getting on either. He wasn't going to leave her alone.

The teachers also told the kids what is was going to be like for the parents. That we would be tired. They were told that they shouldn't whine and complain, that it is going to be a tiring process. They even experienced plane delays in their little pretend airport. Some children after airport day were saying they are so glad that they are not parents!!!
