I sub’d again today, but today’s experience was like the opposite of Tuesday.  I had a blast!  I taught art.  The students were wonderful!  I also liked how the classroom was set up.  The lesson plans were more than adequate as well.  The call to sub came in late this morning, so I didn’t know if there would be a lesson plans.  I quickly made a back-up powerpoint on vanGogh just in case there wasn’t.  I didn’t need it though; the teacher had been planning a field trip to SJSU for a while.

The evening class was long.  One of the students in my Tuesday class (the one who had had this teacher before) bailed and moved to the other class; we got Gustavo in return.  It was a good pick-up, and I came to realize that I was more “cool” at my table simply because Gustavo and Karin were there.  I love the spunk and energy of these two positive future teachers.  I would want my kids to have teachers like them!

During our 30 minute “break,” the teacher gave us an in-class assignment to complete… which would take about 30 minutes.  Not cool!  I didn’t get a break for four hours!

At my table now are: Gustavo and Karin, who commute to class from Daly City/SF and Esperanza and Laura who commute to class from Salinas.  I feel so blessed to live so close!  Originally, I was a little put off by my 20-30 minute commute.  I have nothing to complain about compared to these guys!  Each as at least an hour to commute, if not two.
