Full to Half

Got a call this morning at around 6:30.  I had to listen to the job description about 3 times because I couldn't understand the special instructions.  This lovely computer voice reads it to you and it doesn't always pronounce things the right way!  I ended up having to get on the website to see that it was trying to tell me that I was teaching LRC at one school in the morning and then travelling to a different school to teach LRC in the afternoon.  

I got to the school and got sent to the room.  I sat in there for about 5 minutes waiting for one of the assistants or other teachers to show up to tell me what to do since I couldn't see any schedule or plans.  Then the head LRC teacher came in and told me they'd sent me to the wrong room!  So I went upstairs with her and found the lesson plans! Yay!  Shortly after I'd come upstairs though the phone started ringing.  (They had to call twice it took me so long to figure out where the phone was in the maze of a room!)  It was the office calling to say that the teacher I was subbing for didn't need a full-day sub after all so I was only going to be needed for the morning and wouldn't have to go to the second school.  I was disappointed because I wanted to have a full day's pay and also because I like the other school I was supposed to go to and hadn't been there for a while.  But I'm mostly glad that I had a job at all today!  

I ended up teaching 2 groups of kid this morning.  The first group consisted of 2 boys, and the second group had 4 boys.  They were all working on reading.  After I was done with the groups I had nearly an hour before I was officially "off the clock".  So I asked the head teacher if she had anything I could do for her and she had me make posters of some poems she'd printed out.  Basically I just wrote the poems on big chart paper in colorful markers. 

So it was another easy day for me!  I have an inkling of a possible job for the afternoon tomorrow... so we'll see!
