Finally, I’m back to substitute teaching again after a one-week “break”. School is a killer task! All the papers and test to do in a short period of time made me take a week off to finish my business. All is well and worth every minute of it!
So, I’m back at “NHS” with the same algebra class from a week ago. Kids are more chatty than I remember from last week, probably because I’m so familiar to them now and I’m too chill for them. Looking out on the landscape, I can see kids sleeping, making cootie catchers (old school!), boys trying to spit game on the girls, and, of course, students doing their assigned work.
I should follow in mrjohn’s lead and find different grade level and school to substitute because, honestly, it’s getting boring and dull for me. I need a change-of-pace assignment soon, like a first grade class, to get my “mojo” back. At the end of the day, this work puts money in my wallet and new stories to tell.
