Oops!

This entry is about my job on the 28th of September, even though I'm actually writing it on the 29th. I completely forgot about writing something all evening yesterday.

I got called Sunday evening to work for a teacher I know at a school close by. I was glad to be going somewhere close, and to a class that's actually in English - nevermind the pleasure of knowing ahead of time.

The day was a bit chaotic. It was the first day the kids were doing literacy rotations. The four first and second grade teachers mix their classes up for reading so all the kids will be with a group at the same level as them. So I had to hand out name tags that indicated what room they were going to, and take attendance, and introduce myself, and sign reading logs and pass out folders with the kids' names on them all in about 10 minutes. I didn't get all of that done. The folders remained in a pile at the back of the room. And some reading logs went unsigned. But the it wasn't the end of the world. (A phrase the students laugh at whenever I use it, by the way!)

I can't remember much else of what happened. It was busy. On my way out of the office at the end of the day I was asked to continue subbing for the class for the rest of the week. So I'm very excited to know where I'm going and what I'm getting into all week!

How wonderful to have the whole week planned out on Monday afternoon. Things will probably get a bit easier as the week goes on and you know the kids and the routine. Enjoy!
Love you!!!
