8th grade

IT'S SATURDAY!!! :D

I'm glad...just sayin.

Last time I wrote was Tuesday...and I think it was that night that I saw a sub job online for a three day assignment! I took it right away. So the past three days..I was an 8th grade social studies teacher. :) It was pretty great. I actually enjoyed it. If you haven't been around a classroom full of 8th graders...you're missin' out.

No but really, they are very entertaining. The lesson plans I was given were very light and laid back. Meaning, I didn't actually teach much at all. Wednesday they were combined with another class and another SS teacher talked with them about 9/11. Then, the next two days the students were working on projects. So...Thursday and Friday consisted of a lot of walking around and helping them on the Mac computers or answering questions about the project. There can be so many problems with technology! A lot of the time someones paper wouldn't print...or the computer wouldn't load, OR their username and password wouldn't work...they forgot or didn't know their password... you get the idea.

I think I dreamed about computer difficulties in my sleep. ;)

It was a good way to kick of my school year of subbing though.

The students said they liked me as a sub (and/or teacher) I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing...maybe I was too easy on them? Idk..they weren't bad at all though.

OH and yesterday I proctored my first test! They had to take 4-sights in the morning...
It felt weird being on the other side of that for once..!

So yes...I was so glad to sleep in this morning. I've been so tired. Not to mention...SORE from using the gym this week. I guess I haven't done sit-ups in some time bc those ten I did on Wednesday are still hurting me..haha.

Have a lovely weekend!
