Excitement at school...

Ashlyn came home with quite a story...her teacher had to perform the Heimlich Manuever on a child in class! The teacher was reading a story aloud while the children were seated in a circle eating their snack. A little girl next to Ashlyn started to choke. She put her hands to her throat, (the girls learned this international sign for choking in Brownies when studying safety, so Ashlyn knew what was happening) and the teacher quickly came to the girls rescue. After doing the move while all the children sat stunned, Ashlyn said a piece of carrot popped right out of the girls mouth! Mrs. Heidel, I would have to say that you are a hero!
