I Am Popular

Today I was happy to get a call to sub all day at one of my favorite schools, for a group of second graders that I've known since last year - despite that the call came at 5:30 in the morning.

The day went well. The second grade classes do a "team teach" sort of thing so I had one group of kids for the morning and a second group for the afternoon, and I just teach the same things over for the second group. Today we did a math worksheet, a 2nd steps lesson (which is basically a guidance/counseling lesson - how to solve problems and such), a science activity and another math worksheet. Both classes were pretty good, although the afternoon bunch was a little mellower.

In the afternoon, the kids had PE. After I dropped them off I went upstairs and poked my head into the kindergarten class I subbed for a couple weeks ago. They were having snack, so it was pretty good timing. They seemed excited to see me and a bunch got up to give me hugs. :) I told them how I was subbing in 2nd grade today and that once when the 2nd graders were too loud I told them the kindergarteners were quieter than they were. This amused the kindergarteners a lot. They spent the rest of the time telling me stories about anything and everything. It was very fun - I miss this class!

I'm glad you had a good day and you got to visit the little ones from your previous job. I'm sure they were excited to see you. Now I have the "Popular" song going through my head. :-)
Love you!!! MOM
