New school!

Today I was making breakfast for my hubby and I as we prepared for work. I was only going to work at the high school for a few hours this morning. Then the phone rang. It was a new school wanting to give me a try! I love going to new schools. It is so much fun to see how different schools handle different things. Being in different classrooms, you get to see the different ways teachers organize and implement the different district programs. I always bring writing material and a folder so I can steal stuff. Beg, barrow and steal!

After the high school teacher came back to her classroom, I headed off to the elementary school. The teacher was still in her classroom. Turns out the poor woman had been toughen it out all morning with flue like symptoms. (What a teacher!) So this poor thing fills me in and shows me her sub plans (this was just her regular planner. Good thing we really weren't doing much and I'm very comfortable with the elementary setting.)

We had a pretty easy day. The kids were well behaved. There was a little "drama" with two students. This led to an afternoon of quizzing being interrupted by the principal bringing students into his office from my classroom. Needless to say some students did not get their quiz done but oh well! Nothing I cannot handle.

As I was walking past the teachers' lounge, I heard the staff talking about me and how much another elementary school recommended me. (SCORE! My rep is getting around.) Then I had a student stick around after school to help put up the chairs on the desks. This student told me that I was doing a real good job and most of the students seem to like me. Best complements ever. Have a good night and great weekend my dear followers.
