It was super easy for me because the student teacher did everything! During their reading block I walked around and made sure the kids were on task while she did the reading groups. And then when they were doing a writing project I walked around and helped kids who needed it. But for the rest of the time I just sat off to the side of the room where I could keep my eyes on the students and I read my book.
At the end of the day one of the girls asked me, "How come you were here, but all you did was stand around?" I explained that, "You have a student teacher, and she gets to have today to practice teaching, so I'm just here to help." I guess this seemed like a satisfactory answer to her because she shrugged and then started talking to someone else. Kids. They say the darnedest things! :)

I'm glad you had an enjoyable day. It's funny how blunt kids are. They haven't developed the ability to sensor their questions. Glad your answer didn't spawn an endless stream of other questions.

Glad you had an easy half day in school. It's kind of surprising that the girl was that observant about you not having to help the student teacher. Sometimes they don't seem to notice much of anything going on. Hope tomorrow gives you another easy, fun assignment.
Love you!!! MOM
