Or Jack ( & Jills ) in the box ?

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, definitely! ;)

[Caradoc]

Whack-a-mole indeed. Children never can seem to sit still. And then when they get older that energy fades and they don't want to move at all.

Funny how life is like that.

I have seventh graders - asleep at their desks during class, and running around the room at recess and lunch. They keep me on my toes, that's for sure!

[Caradoc]

Sounds hectic.

[Lydia Shutter]

What a great image. I could picture the scene. It's been a while since I have been in a school cafeteria, but I don't think they ever really change. Cute one. Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

Kids will always be kids... Mine eat in the classroom, so I do understand that they want to move around at lunchtime. :) Thanks, Lydi!

I like to sit and stand, just not here, but over there, by the window, where I day dream of a meadow, where I can sit and stand as I please hehe Hi Rita!

[Rita L. Sev]

Hi, Shaun! You would fit in very well in my classroom... ;)

[Shaun Payton]

Id like that! Haha

[Angi]

Ha! I remember having lunch with my daughter in elementary school. This is just what it is like! Ha! laughing here and I am so, so sorry, Rita. Ha! Angi~

[Rita L. Sev]

Hey! ;) I am thinking of making a recording of "Sit, please. Sit down. Sit please..."

[Sheila Kline]

Can just see you watching the kids as they sit, stand, sit, stand.........up, down, up, down,......lol
As long as there's not a food fight, it is an okay time???

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, Sheila, they are actually well-behaved - just very ansty! No food fights, but my floor always needs a good sweeping after lunch - ah, kids... :)

This is funny...I could see the people standing up...sitting down...standing again...

[Rita L. Sev]

Welcome to my classroom, Marie! :)

i remember us as kids at lunchtime...i think we would rather play than eat..

different generation.

[Rita L. Sev]

Oh, they want to get outside to play. They just can't sit still for ten minutes to eat before they go out. Thus, my constant, "Sit, Susie. Johnny, sit please. Mary, have a seat..." :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is refreshing to hear...they want to play...outside...

maybe things are changing for the better...

[Rita L. Sev]

I have to say, the kids at my school do their share of playing video games, but they love their sports and just running around, too. Still fun to watch them at play...
