It looks like this may truly be the end for the summer, but it is also a beginning. I was able to secure jobs for the last three days. I even had a job for this morning, but I canceled it when I was still awake at midnight and it required an earlier start. I […]

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
Monday: Industrial technology in hometown district. In near-city district, only 7th and 8th grade take this class- I think this year the teacher at one of these schools only teaches for four periods. What does he do with the rest of the day? In hometown district all three middle-school grades take this class. The other
That’s how the saying goes, only it’s talking about children while I’m talking about me. Welcome to my journey in a deaf and hard-of-hearing classroom.

I wonder if the signal is now too powerful if that’s possible? I mean, it was going through a cable that was chewed

Just kidding. Thursday I subbed at a middle school again, and eighth grade did have graduation rehearsal most of the day. Fortunate for me, I subbed for seventh grade. The end of year had already come for three of the districts I sub in, but this one district actually finishes next week with a half-day
IT for short, not to be confused with information technology which was a possible career track for me once, was where I was Monday and today. This is the class that was once know as shop, as it used to consist solely of things like woods, plastics, and metals. Nowadays those three still exist, but

You have spoken (or rather, not spoken- that is, no comments) and it seems that my links posts are not welcome. Whether it be the links, retrogaming, or whatnot, I guess I need to stick to the teaching posts. Right then. Today I was a teaching assistant. It’s okay- in the district I was in
