times. math teacher rhonda crosswhite was helping her students with an end of school game when the principal came over the speaker and told them to go to the hallway. damien klein is a fourth grader. >> she told us to get a math book or bag. i already had my bag and then we went in the hall. >> why did she tell you to get a math book or bag? >> we could put it over our head. >> a teacher saw the funnel cloud approaching and ordered them to get into the hallway or closets. >> you've got to get them in there. i'm like, okay. you are getting in there, too. >> she was in a bathroom stall crouched over four children and she did what teachers do. >> i remember the little boy saying, i love you, miss crosswhite, please don't let me die with you. i am like, we're not dying. we are not dying today. quit saying that. and i did the teacher thing that we're probably not supposed to do. i prayed. and i prayed out loud. >> what did you say? >> i said, god, please don't take these kids today.
