The first job I selected for the fourth district I am now in may still be coming, but the second job was a two-day job for 8th grade language arts. It was at the school where I know a few of the kids from my church. As it turns out the school is only about […]
Wednesday was one of those specials days. That is, subbing for a gym teacher. But first, let me talk about the days before this one. Monday, I took a full day job at one of the furthest schools from me. It was a bit of a mixed bag as well as a slight disappointment. I

. Three months ago I realized I would need to head off to sub once again. At that time I made a decision to not re-sign on with a district that only rarely called me last year and was still on the slowly fading sub caller system (that is, not online) this year so more

I only made one post about work last week? Well, I was depressed about the state of the elections I guess. I truly believe we are in for a very rough four years, and that’s all I’m going to say about that. I know who my messiah is and He isn’t a politician. So my
Construction- gotta love it. Construction on the roads, construction of buildings, and so on.

It is a specials time for me this week. Yes, I did mean to spell it that way. Monday I subbed for art in an elementary school and today I did music in middle school. This day was one of those times where I did the same lesson for all classes. Yes, that means all

Massage the teacher = bad. Just remember that, m’kay? In reference to a previous post we learned that while paper passer, messenger, and librarian are good jobs for teachers to give their students, massaging the teacher doesn’t quite fly. However, apparently not all service jobs are a problem. From the title I think you can

During these times of uncertainty I think it appropriate to mention that I have had a couple of lean days in the past week. How so, you ask? First of all I am not talking about my diet or any lack of jobs. What I refer to is the lesson plans. Twice in the last
