      month. That Tuesday was probably   stuff. I thought, why carry it home
      the  last  day  school  felt  somewhat   today and then have to carry it back
      normal. By Wednesday I noticed that   on Monday?
      there were less and less kids showing
      up. It started out slow, I noticed only      That Monday never happened.
      like 1-5 kids missing.             School had been shut down on that
                                         Sunday. I genuinely don’t know how

      to school on Monday, and if there are   be the same as regular school, except
