Today I was subbing in the afternoon at a Head Start at a school really close to my apartment. I've done quite a few Head Start classrooms last year, but not this particular one. I get there, meet the assistant and help get ready for lunch.
The kids arrive at 12:30. There are 20 of them - 6 girls and 14 boys! Just get that imagine in your head - 20 little 3-foot-high four-year olds all trying to get into a straight line to walk from bus to classroom.... which was a pretty long distance!
I do not have any entertaining stories for the blog today except to say that I am VERY tired! Even just 3 hours with these little guys and they had me wiped! Ever been to the zoo and watched the penguin habitat? You know how they kinda run around in circles and jump in the water and jump back up and run into each other always in constant movement? Yeah, that gives you a pretty good picture of what my day was like.
Now here's a interesting piece of news! Salem-Keizer has officially joined the 21st century! The electronic calling system is finally online! I got my first call from the machine just about 15 minutes ago. So I've got a job for the afternoon tomorrow over in west Salem in a 2nd grade. So stay tuned for that episode tomorrow!

I love your comparison to the penquins. I could see them in my mind. I'm glad you will be with more "mature" students tomorrow. It will be a nice change.
Love you!!! MOM
Hope the classroom didn't smell like the penguin house at the zoo, gag. Sounds like the girls were seriously out numbered! Glad to hear you already know your schedule and wont have to wait around in the morning.
Looking forward to hearing about your Thursday,
Rhonda
