Although I didn't teach but three days this week, it was challenging to keep the students engaged. They would rather be anywhere but at school, and they are anticipating Spring Break and what they will do during their week off.
Well, I guess I'm pretty much ready for a break too, even though I had a short one this week. I was only there Monday through Wednesday because I was ill Thursday and Friday. I hope everything is in one piece when I get back. I talked to another teacher Thursday afternoon to see how things went, and he said he had to keep going to my room to wake up the substitute teacher. He's lucky the students didn't super-glue his fingers together or tie his shoe strings together. I guess I'll hear if anything happened that was real interesting when I return from Spring Break.
So sorry to hear you were ill. Hopefully you'll be well throughout spring break.
ReplyDeleteI too had a substitute fiasco. Two of my students got into a fist fight. While the sub and an administrator were dealing with that, someone stole the sub's MP3 player that he had left on my desk. Then they had to get another administrator to search and question each student. They never found who took it but the sub finally found it hidden behind a computer in the room. I bet that sub leaves his MP3 player at home or atleast out of sight after this!
I'm with you, I really need this spring break - mostly to do GSU/NTI homework and to get some badly needed sleep. Enjoy the break!
