I’m just looking to see what sort of age groups you might be interested in teaching if you ever decided to teach. Feel free to choose more than one. You will note that there is some overlap in grades since not everyone defines the categories the same way. For example, in some places middle school […]

I have said in other posts that 5th grade is probably my favorite grade followed by 4th and then 6th. Well, yesterday I had a late call to sub for 5th and 6th grade. I knew I would be late and I wasn’t disappointed in this regard when I ended up 15 minutes late mostly
School Picture Guy- a recurring guest star in Lincoln Peirce’s comic strip Big Nate, a strip nearly as old as the Simpsons. He doesn’t appear much these days in his primary role meaning I had to go back to 2007 to find this one, skipping past roles as a deejay and a news photographer. But

Well, it’s been awhile since my last work-related post. I finally got season 4 of The Office from my library and have been watching it. For those who don’t remember back that far 😛 , Ryan, who was the temp at the Scranton, PA office is now Michael’s boss, and is trying to make many

Hey, I recognize him. Hmm, a bit younger, wearing pink, and in a wheelchair- I guess I didn’t recognize her after all. No, I’m not on any sort of drug, illegal, prescription, or otherwise. The class I was in today, a mentally impaired class, had a dead ringer for a boy who was in my

Well, I have been on the early shift for the last couple of days and I just have to say that that, coupled with my tendency to not sleep through the night, makes for one tired teacher. Yesterday I had it easy. I left to a temperature outside over 40º colder than it was the

I have been doing a lot of catching up on TV shows lately. This has eaten into my available time to write in this blog. That, and my interest is sort of lagging right now. I now have several DVDs I checked out of the library in addition to several hours of TV shows I
Well, it looks like I was somehow able to get a day of work in this week. Apparently the teacher was gone yesterday too, and they didn’t use the same sub which left the door open for yours truly. I am writing this post with a headache, so don’t be too surprised if it turns

To butcher a line from a Weird Al song about Yoda (which parodied a song called Lola), but if it fits… This was my fate Thursday when I accepted a PE job at a middle school. This was every bit as unexciting as it sounds. There was a yoga instructor two double-classes of eighth grade

Monday: 5th grade. Location: my hometown, same school as last week’s PE assignment. This wasn’t my favorite fifth grade assignment, but it was still a good day. The day started with specials. As I subbed for PE last week, I knew a little bit of the schedule so I expected this. It’s always nice to
