My Day

My mentor teacher has been sick for the past two days, so I've taken over the class and have been subbing for her. WOW. I wasn't entirely prepared for it, and I am really glad that she'll be back tomorrow.

Eli punched Rory in the nose and willingly admitted to it.

Sierra whined ALL DAY LONG.

A simple language arts lesson - create a class taxonomy for the NW Coast Rainforest and write a sense poem - took an hour and half longer than it should have.

I have sent at least one kid home sick every day for the past week.

Some days I wonder if this is what I really want to do with my life...
