So today I arrived bright and early (start time is at 8), and met the student teacher. She lead me to the room where I then met the teacher. While the teacher was explaining to both me and the student teacher what the schedule was going to look like she kept saying "it's going to be a pretty easy morning for you." So I finally asked, "Are you coming back for the afternoon?" She said she was. I was surprised because the job I took online listed as a full day job. But the teacher told me I was supposed to go to a first grade class for the afternoon but she didn't know which one. I was surprised no one in the office has mentioned this when I first checked in. So I went back to the office and asked and the secretary told me that I didn't go to a different class in the afternoon unless I had signed up for another job on the site. I then pointed out that the job I had signed up for was listed as a full day. She apologized a lot but told me there had been a mistake and it was supposed to just be a half day. Bummer.
The class was pretty good. I didn't have them for long. The student teacher did one morning activity. Then I did calendar and then was went to watch a presentation about trees for an hour. The kids did a fabulous job listening during this! After the presentation we went back to the room and they worked on a writing project. By this time they were getting a little wound up, but it wasn't too bad. The student teacher read a story to them and then they had lunch. When we got back to the room after delivering the class to the cafeteria the teacher came back and I left. I'm getting really tired of all these adjustments to my schedule after I arrive!

That stinks! Sorry you got the short end of the stick again. Why can't that work in reverse? You sign up for a half day and, "Sorry for the short notice, but you can you stay the whole day?!" I think you're due for one of those :) Sounds like the morning went really well though. An hour about trees...and they listened? Wow. Hugs, Rhonda
It's a bummer when you lose out on half a day when it is a mistake on their end. I would have paid you for the whole day. :-)
Love you!!! MOM
