You don’t often see people ‘falling to the floor, laughing.’ It’s a figure of speech. But put kids into the mix and anything can happen. One of my students this afternoon said something so unexpectedly funny (to herself, at least) that she collapsed gently to the ground in laughter and stayed there, giggling on the carpet, as we all laughed with her. Such giggling is highly contagious in a group of 12 year olds (and one teacher). I made sure she was OK and our day ended on smiles. #smallstories
