Today was a field trip day...YEAH!!!! Six of my kids were drawn out of the hopper to go ice skating during school. The students receive coupons for good behavior and get to participate in different activities during school hours if their coupon is drawn from the hopper. This time, they took 200 students!! It was a big deal. Check out how happy my six little ones are!
As soon as I stepped onto the ice my first thought was....Dear Goodness I do not want to do this any more!!!! Then 
one of my kids skated over to me and told me that there was a kid on the ice with his skate off. So I attempted to re-school myself on the art of skating as I followed him to the opposite side of the rink in search of this child. Sure enough he had not laced his skates. Silly little 2nd grader. No need to worry....Lolly to the rescue.

Everything was going swell. 
Everyone pretty much knew what they were doing, except one student. So I dedicated my time to holding her hand and going slow with her around the wall. She was having a good time but super nervous. Look at how much fun they are having!

After a while I noticed that one of my kids was missing. We kept looking for her and we could not find her. That was when I spotted her on the ice...laying down, with people all around her. There was an adult there, but they did not look like they knew what they were doing. I did the best I could to get there as quickly as I could and assess
the situation. She was sobbing uncontrollably. Long story short we hobbled her over to the edge. I skated off the ice and ran around to the back hockey entrance and opened a side door so we would not have to drag her all the way to the exit. (I knew all those years dedicated to loving hockey would come in handy some day!)
I began to tell her a story about my glorified hockey days as a hockey official. I told her the story about the day I took a puck to the head while I was running the score board. I did this to divert her attention while I was removing her skate and assess the damage.

I did this to divert her attention while I was removing her skate and assess the damage. There was slight swelling and bruising, but I had no clue how bad it was since this little gem of a girl is my drama queen in the class. Of all the students that could have gotten injured, it had to be her. She could not put any pressure on it, so I yanked my skates 
off and carried her out of the rink. Yet again... Lolly to the rescue! We sat outside while we tried to track down her mom. Then, the principal drove the two of us to mom's work and mom took her to the ER. I hope that she is okay!!!! What an exciting day for me!

I heard back from my students mother and her leg is broken on the growth plate. I am really really sad. She will be going to the pediatrician today to see if it can heal by its self or if she will need surgery. I feel like my heart is breaking. I hope that she will be okay. We will be making cards for her today!!!
