Thank you all!
Today was fine, no problems at all. To answer a few questions, it is K class, I am the teacher and normally we are not out alone, but sometimes we are for a few minutes. Typically this recess we would have been outside with the other k class, but they had a make up library time and were not outside at our scheduled time.
I didn't call the principal because I was embarrassed and I had gotten ahold of her, but I absolutely would have if I hadn't gotten her in line right when I did.
I don't normally withhold any special class (pe, library or music) because they are a valuable class and equal to the three r's as far as I am concerned. It was our final recess of the day and due to the age I figured taking away recess today wouldn't really resonate with her as much as an immediate consequence. She had to do some helping around the classroom during music and I did call mom. I had her line up first today (but she was the caboose) and we talked about what her behavior expectations were before she even went outside.
Thank you again, I appreciate all your suggestoins and validations and the taser comment made me snort laugh!!!! You guys are the best.

I'm glad to hear the remaining part of the day went better.
Don't ever be embarrassed. This does not reflect poorly on you at all. Asking for a hand is almost expected because it is just not possible for you to give that sort of attention to 1 student. Notice how other teachers with runners mentioned they had paras? That's because it's necessary with runners to have help.
I hope Monday goes smoothly!
