I bookended my three days in elementary (Tuesday was in a mentally impaired classroom) with middle-school jobs at the same school. Monday I subbed for a specialty teacher who teaches a course about cultures. I am not sure what it entails, but is a separate course from the normal history/social studies courses. Being a specialty […]
Last week when looking for jobs, an assignment for this week came up and I jumped on it even though it’s an age group I normally don’t work with outside of specials like gym or music, or potluck (floater) assignments. However, it was a two-day assignment so I figured why not after all the middle
