I swear, I am having such freakish good luck at getting good sub calls that I'm starting to get nervous that it has to end sometime...Anyway, today I worked for the afternoon in a second grade class. I taught for about 30 minutes. Seriously.
I arrived right at their lunch time. Right after lunch they had an "artist in residence" come to the room. She works at an art studio in Beaverton that does art classes and such for kids and adults (I think). She taught the kids about Claude Monet and the impressionist style of painting. Then she taught them out to make a impressionist painting inspired by Monet's lily pond paintings. Each kids even got a canvas board to paint on! There were all really excited, and their paintings were really cute. I even took a picture of them all lined up to dry for you, my reader. :)
After this session (which was 90 minutes), they had PE. After PE I did a really quick math lesson and then set them to work on their math worksheet.
They were pretty good kids, although I was about to lose it when they were "cleaning up" from the painting project and about 8-10 of them decided to put paint on their hands and rub it around until their hands were green. I was not happy. I spent about 15 minutes standing by the sink supervising them cleaning off the paint. Ugh. But other than that it was good. :)

Well, it couldn't be a totally perfect afternoon - a few green hands to keep it real. I hope your lucky streak continues.
Love you!!! MOM
What a fun day! Except for the green hands that is; little late for St. Patrick's Day. The paintings they did look really good. Andrew would have loved a project like that.
Hugs, Rhonda
Sounds like a pretty fun day! besides the kids with the messy hands lol. Although when I first was reading it, I thought you were going to say they rubbed the paint all over in their hair. That probably would have been worse, lol. :) I'm glad you are able to get so many sub jobs! Hopefully you will be able to find a permanent job soon, at a school you love! :)
