My three day assignment that was cancelled earlier this week would have been at the school I wound up at today. You can say it turned into a one day assignment I suppose. Oddly enough, the teacher I would have subbed for was the “team teacher” in two of the classes. In those classes I […]
No comments at all on the last blog post? I either posted this story before or I caught all of you on a bad day I guess. Anyway, I moved from 7th grade the other day to two different 2nd grade classes, and I do mean different in more ways than the obvious. Yesterday was
Today was a special day that occurs just once a month. 10AM, first Tuesday of the month- the testing of the disaster sirens all over the area. I’ve always wondered what if there was a real disaster at this time? No one would believe it. It is also the season for testing something else. For

On this official International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I forgot one thing while subbing- I forgot to talk like a pirate. Despite my reminder to myself. I think the kids would have enjoyed it. Oh, well. Cleanup continues here on the home flood front- I finally ripped up the carpet at the foot of

We all know what that date represents. Well, most of us do. As I mentioned a couple of posts ago I worked will ELL students today. One student actually didn’t know about what happened seven years ago as he just came to this country less than a year ago. I suspect there were others as
With a new school year comes not just employment but things going on at my church as well. Okay, I haven’t been that busy, but compared to just a week ago it seems like it. Also, I have been catching up on my internet reading since I was down for much of last week. It
