I Gotta Get With It

I think this is the first time I've actually forgotten to write a blog. I did sub on Monday. I'm writing this on Tuesday. But I'm going to date is as if I did write it on Monday.

And because I've forgotten until tonight to write something I'm having a really hard time thinking of something to tell about my day. It was pretty uneventful judging from my lack of memories of it. I subbed in a second grade class. They were a small group - only 16 kids. For the most part they were okay although they were really slow to follow directions. It usually took about 5 minutes for the group as a whole to move from one activity to sitting at the carpet, which was pretty frustrating. I was told one boy was the difficult one of the bunch, but I actually had less problems with him than I did with a girl in the class that was not mentioned as being a behavior problem. Funny how kids can sometimes act so differently than they normally do with a substitute. Some improve, perhaps simply because I'm a new face and they don't know what to expect. And some are worse because they decide they should try to get away with everything that their teacher doesn't let them do.

Some days are like that. There's really nothing to make them stand out 10 minutes after you have left the class. That's OK. They can't all be super exciting or really bad (thank goodness)
Love you!!! MOM
