May 3 subbing
There were a few half day subbing jobs recently – just no real news to report.
Today I subbed for an English teacher at Canton High School. I reported at 6:40 a.m. and their day ends at 2:20. This teacher had last period for prep time so I actually got off work at 1:20 p.m. Nearly made up for having to get up at 5:30 a.m. Nearly. 🙂 All of the classes were well-behaved (with some re-direction). 3 classes were “supervise them and make them stay quiet and do their work” classes, but for 2 of them, I actually got to teach the class. They read info and then I split them into groups to discuss it and then they reported back to the class and we talked about it. It was helpful that the novel they are getting ready to read is Things Fall Apart by Chinua Echebe, which I have read. I haven’t taught high school very much this year, but I really enjoyed being with these kids today. Not sure about the 5:30 part, though.
