(Big Nate ©Lincoln Peirce) This past week I could be found in a middle school every day. In fact, I was in one school for three days for two teachers. I started the week in near-city district at the school that was closed for a few days a couple of weeks ago due to swine […]

All the way from Qo’noS comes something to kill…computer viruses/virii. That’s right, today may be a good day to die but we’re pretty safe this time as we are not the intended targets of Klingon wrath- the computer virus apparently is. Read about it at it’s site: https://www.sophos.com/klingon-anti-virus/ Do you suppose they used the Klingon

I can’t stay mad at all y’all (that’s how a Southerner says it, right?) so here’s some sub news. Monday and Tuesday I was in near-city district again, and will be back there again tomorrow. 3rd grade was the name of the game Monday, and one of the first things I noticed was the teacher’s
1.0 being the avian flu a few years ago which barely got out of the starting gate as far as pandemic staus is concerned. Yes, I know there have been really nasty flu epidemics/pandemics in the past, but I am specifically referring to modern variations in my numbering. Anyway, tonight I got a call on

Last weekend I picked up a job in hometown district for first grade. In fact, it was the school nearest my home. Later, a job in supersized district appears for a resource teacher (they call it by a different name, but that’s what the job is- for those students who need the extra boost). It
The last time I wrote, I forgot about a big detail from Friday. I have been subbing for a few years now and I must either have been in elementary schools on this particular day, or in districts that don’t support it. The day I’m referring to is the day of silence. This is a

Well, that Thursday entry was less than exciting I think. Hopefully this will be an improvement- 8th grade. In near-city district. At the end of the year. When another job popped up in a different district I was tempted to dump this one for it, but in the end I didn’t have any issues thanks
Back to the school I subbed in for art last week, about four doors past in fact in 4th and 5th grade row. It was another day with no break for specials, not even computer lab like Tuesday. The morning consisted of a large language arts block with a reading from their Treasures reading book
Preschool in near-city district at a different school than the other times. Tho other school had two near-identical classrooms- the teachers are truly a team there- and the students were English-speaking. You know where I’m going with this one… I arrived, and the principal was acting as secretary and signed me in. Headed to the
