Ridiculous Antics During Fourth Graders Lunch

The noise level is ridiculous. Students are turned in their seats; a no no during a pandemic. Rooster noises waft through. We don’t know where they come from, due to the masks. There is a Soprano’s scream, some stomping. We catch these students; we can see their shoes. Dilbert stands up and wiggles his bottom. He is in fourth grade, and never gets the attention he seeks. No one notices Dilbert; this is a regular event during lunch. The masks are up now, and the noise level is up. Hooting and barking will commence soon. As far as I am concerned, fourth grade has had their recess. At the expense of us lunch supervisors.

LOL. I really don't know what to say. Just laughing my butt off. I know it isn't funny, but, hey, it is funny when you're not there to experience the chaos. Pray someone doesn't start a food fight!

At least if they wing food we can "catch the felons" - we cannot see who the loud yellers are due to the stupid masks. And the entire room echoes, so you cannot get the direction either.
