Second Day

Class continues as normal!  The children are still the most well-behaved I've ever met.  They've also continued their practice of shunning Katrina, which is what I want to talk about in a bit more detail today.

The first grade teachers trade off overseeing recess, and today was my turn.

The kids played like normal, for the most part.  It was kind of a relief, honestly.  I was worried that their good behavior was masking some sort of major problem, possibly some sort of abuse by the staff.

Nothing was odd about their play, though, until I noticed Katrina.

I saw her participating in what I had assumed was just a normal game of tag.  The more I watched, though, the more...unsettling, it became.

The game consisted of the students, most of which from my class, keeping themselves at least a dozen yards Katrina.  Katrina, meanwhile, just slowly walked after them, her arms out wide, and a big, serene smile on her face.

She never ran after them, though, occasionally, they ran briefly  away from her.

This lasted the entire half hour.

Other than that, today went as normal.  I might have to do something else for the infectious disease course, though, because the "cooties" don't really seem to be spreading.

..and honestly, I'm not sure I want to see them spread.  If this continues, I'll try talking to some of the other teachers about it.
