I not really in the blogging mood at the moment, so this may end up being kinda sort.
Subbed in a bilingual first grade class today. I know the teacher, who requested me. We look a lot alike, and I was mistaken for her 3 times in the morning by staff, and one kid asked me if I was her sister!
The day seemed oddly long - I think because in first grade you have to do so MANY different things all for really small time periods because they have short attention spans. You'd think that'd make the day go faster, but really the opposite is true.
Most kids did pretty good speaking English for the day (usually, they do most everything in Spanish). There were a few kids that weren't comfortable with their English - sometimes I could understand what they were asking/telling me, and when I couldn't, I just had one of the better English speakers translate for me. They were all really eager to be my "Spanish helper" so that was good.
I honestly cannot think of anything else to tell about the day. Can't even remember all of what we did! Oh well, better luck next time. Happy December all!

There is something to be said for a day that doesn't have anything really outstanding to write about. Certainly better than a day full of little outlaws. Hope you get something "good memorable" this week.
Love you!!! MOM
You are far more brave than I. A class of little spanish speakers! I'd have to resort to charades and grunts. Excited the flow of stories has resumed, hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Hugs, Rhonda
