I was very happy to pick them up from recess both times to find them all in line and ready to go!
Not all parts of the day went so smoothly, but you gotta look for the positive!
The potentially problematic child was once again wonderful! I'd like to think it was because of my great teaching skill that he decided to be a well-behaved student, but perhaps I just happen to have good timing. :) Although it IS good to think that he was so good despite the surprise of sub which can sometimes set the more volatile kids off - change throws some for a loop. But then again I know about Transformers and Star Wars so how could he not love me?
Another kid did give me a run for my money though. He couldn't sit still, didn't listen and basically was disruptive and rude. I finally got tired of redirecting him over and over and sent him to the office (which is something I hardly EVER do - I feel like if I can deal with them in the room then I will. I don't want to be the sub that's sending a stream of kids to the office. Not a good way to get called back.) He was gone for a while, the rest of the class settled down a bit when the distraction was gone and we got rolling on the afternoon. When the disruptor was back, he had a much better attitude and was pretty pleasant for the rest of the day. Guess he just needed a break too.

Sounds like you had another good day and you made some good decisions about how to handle the problems that came up. I'm really glad the usually "bad" child was well behaved for you. Have a great weekend!
