Normalcy??? Normality?? What should I call it?
So it's Monday morning. Again. Seems this day comes around about once a week. I am usually well rested on Mondays, which means that my huge number of 11-year olds is as well. They are always very perky first thing in the morning. Today was also the first time I had seen this group of children since August 19. Due to our block scheduling, I see my students every other day. With my absences last week, I missed both of the times this group of kids came to my classroom.They had tons to tell me. Apparently my substitute was the devil. Yay. The first one was ok, but the second grew horns and turned her head all the way around. She may or may not have had projectile pea soup vomit. They weren't too sure about that detail.
Do any of you remember that about your subs? It could have been one of the Playboy playmates, but when the teacher comes back, the sub was devil spawn. Haha. They make me giggle.
My fourth period class was the only class I received a bad report from. So they received a tongue lashing. They were very good for today, but we'll see how long that lasts.
The crowning moment today, however, came during my reading class. This class really didn't follow directions when I had a sub, so I was pretty irritated with them. While I was trying to explain to them why I was so irritated, there was this one little boy who kept trying to explain to me how wonderful he was and how he shouldn't be getting in trouble with the rest of the class. He finally got irritated with me because I was ignoring him, and he kicked his backpack across the room.
Oh dear.
I sent him to go sit in the hallway while I finished chewing out my class. Then I sat at my desk to write my own behavior report for this child. As I was writing the report, the instructional coach came into my room because there was a child on the floor. Now, I have been told for three years that I need to spend less time on my rear while I am at work. So I have made a huge effort to NOT sit down. It's got to be my karma that she happened to walk in during one of the maybe 10 minutes all day that I was actually at my desk. Oh, and even better than that was the knowledge that my pricipal was out there as well. Oh hell. I've been trying to prove to her that I am able to teach for three years. They picked the perfect day to hang out in my hallway.
I can't wait until tomorrow!! Just because if it's tomorrow than today is officially over!!
