Tables are moved to the side, and children begin doing exercises. Potter uses the break to sit at her desk and take a sip of her Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Green tennis balls are used for catch, until Potter has one bounce off her sweater. I just got pegged. Balls continue to bounce off the floor, off tables, against file cabinets and off each other.
Potter takes another sip of coffee.
The kids return to coloring. When workbooks are collected, Kayanna Briggs breaks out in tears because she didn't get to put the books in the cubbies. Her crying continues to the rug, where the kids gather for story telling. Sure enough, one of the blow-up dolls, Mr. G., is brought into the room. He's one of several blow-up characters from the shelves who represent a letter.
