SUBSTITUTE TEACHING!!!
I am absolutely loving this job sooooooo much! I finally was able to start subbing this Wednesday. It was great! I first subbed at the Junior High as an aide in the special ed room. It went really well. I was a little hesitant at first, but I was able to do a really good job. They already signed me up for a couple of weeks in November.
The next Job was at mountain view, grades 1-2. They were really good kids. I was an aide again for Special Ed, but this time if was for the confined(meaning confined to a wheel chair) room. It was great. Mrs. C was a great teacher. I learned a lot from her. She had so much patience and love for those kids. Teaching in special ed is a lot harder than most other sub jobs mostly because the children really need to keep to the routine. One mix up could leave to confusion and frustration on almost all of the students part. They need consictency at all times.
Today I taught Kindergarten! It was such a blast. I felt so bad for the kids I taught though. These kindergarteners went all day long. Only two of the four classes went all day because they were a little behind the rest of the students their age. By the time 1:30 came along they were already asking if they could line up to the door so that they could get on the bus.
The cutest and most pitiful story of the day was when lunch came. Everyone started to line up at the door except for this little girl. She came up to me and said, "Teacher, I am not eating lunch here today. " "Why not, I asked, you're going to get hungry." "No, it's okay, she said, My mom's making me lunch at home and expects me to be there." I felt so bad for her. I told her that she had to eat lunch and that it would be a while before she went home. She cried for a little bit, but nothing a little hug could fix.
After two snack times, a couple of recesses, some tears, and three bloody noses from kids picking their noses, all was well and finally..... the weekend was here for the lonliest of twins
