Well, I was up a little early to find a job for the day, and I find myself with a little time so I will try to write this before I leave. So why a part two? Simply put, I subbed for 8th grade yesterday. Actually, the teacher does both 7th and 8th, but she […]
Okay, thanks to today this will be a two-part post. See my next post for the reason. 🙂 Yesterday I had the privilege of attending my nephew’s high school graduation. He actually attended two of the same schools as I did growing up. One of those schools I have subbed at several times. The other one was
If one awards ceremony wasn’t enough, the school I was at today had its own awards show. Knowing that elementary students are far more impatient than older ones, this ceremony was much shorter fortunately. And I got to sit down… Actually, the entire thing was one hour, but the presentations were only about 20 minutes.
Hey, watch out- will ya? Get that house outa’ the middle of the road! Er- house? In the road? It must be Mount Prospect’s Central School.

Going back to elementary was quite a difference from the last several days, in more than one way. First, going from age 12-14 to age 8. There is a world of difference between teens and second-graders. Second, going from the specials to the academics. The last week has been dominated with Industrial Tech and PE,
Tonight I write this as I should be partying instead. Tonight is the end-of-year cast party for the children’s drama. Or rather, that is what the schedule says. The party was actually canceled due to lack of interest, plus a general grim outlook on people showing up on Wednesday nights for past rehearsals. If it
Not sure what to write tonight. I was at one of the few schools one district ever calls me for- I am not sure what’s going on with that district. I guess it helps that this school is the largest in the district at over 900 students 6th-8th grades. At first when I saw the

I am very tired so I will make this one quick. Besides, it was PE again, at the same school as Friday, so there isn’t much to say about it. Kickball again. The only real difference was I had 8th grade health instead of 6th, so I had the 6th graders for PE instead of
