Just kidding. Thursday I subbed at a middle school again, and eighth grade did have graduation rehearsal most of the day. Fortunate for me, I subbed for seventh grade. The end of year had already come for three of the districts I sub in, but this one district actually finishes next week with a half-day Thursday and a one-hour day Friday. I currently have an assignment for Tuesday, but I am not sure if it will last. I didn’t get along well with one of the TAs in that class and even got a call from the principal on the day, but I have a good record with that school so he recognized it as an anomaly. I did skip out on an assignment with this teacher since, but being the end of the year with only one district still in school I can’t be too fussy.
So, back to this week, I subbed Thursday for a BD/LD teacher. The classes I had were two small-group reading classes and two tutorials. There were two other classes, but I acted more as an assistant in those. It was mostly self-work, but one class was end-of-year details, i.e. turning in books. Yippee.
Friday was a half-day with the class I was with Wednesday. Good for me as I left my lunch is his fridge… 😀 He never noticed, and I grabbed it Friday. Not much to do here- silent reading, correcting homework, math test, self-science review… The teacher is going to be out all day Monday too. Too bad for me someone else has that assignment.
Sweltering heat those last couple of days I will tell you. With temps in the high 80s (with high humidity!) and no AC in the schools we were all sweating, even with fans going. This district is finally entering the latter half of the 20th century starting next year, but that didn’t help much those two days, or the at least one day I will be working next week. Can I wear shorts please?
I remember those days with 90 degree heat, etc with no a/c in school…. miserable. One-hour school day?
no a/c? I would decline the job. With my extra 50 lbs this summer, I cannot take this heat!
Last day in many area districts is usually just one hour, to barely fulfill the required number of days in school.
