The Ringmaster blew the whistle and the assistant sprang to crank the circus music to full throttle. Suddenly the area between the centers was flooded with joyous children skipping, hopping and cantering to the irresistible beat. It OUGHT to have been chaos; there SHOULD have been lots of questions about where to go next and lots of delay in getting there. (Do third and fourth graders just do this sort of thing when sunshine and blue skies are just beckoning?) But instead, every child seemed to know exactly where to go and was happy to be going there. Within three minutes it was all quiet again. The next circus act was set to begin.
