See Ya Boss

I think that's what one of the kids said to me when he left today! Granted, it was kind of muffled, so he could have been saying Miss Barnes and I only heard the B sound at the beginning and S at the end and it just sounded like Boss...

I'm going to decide it was Boss because that's funnier.

Anyway, I subbed for another first grade today (I've now done all three 1st grades at this school - where I also subbed in all the kindergartens last year. So pretty much all of the kids already knew me, and I knew them. Names come so much easier when I just have to re-memorize them!)

The kids were really good. This class is probably the easiest to sub for out of the three first grades.

One of the projects we did had to do with crabs. Except I had a problem actually saying "crab" and kept calling them "frogs"! Which of course the kids noticed every time and just giggled over me saying wrong so many times. Then one boy told me how he remembered in kindergarten that one day I kept calling a turkey and penguin. Which I did not remember until he said that.

Apparently I have problems keeping my animals straight and 1st graders have amazing memories.

I'm glad you had a good day with the little ones. I'm sure they enjoyed the mix up in the names of animals. They love to catch you making a mistake like that. Good job "boss."
Love you!!! MOM
