Well, it's official! I am a substitute teacher, and my first day was yesterday. I hoped my first time would go well, the funny part was.... I subbed for high school boys P.E.! Haha, it wasn't bad, though. For the first hour, it was combined with another class and after the boys did 2 laps, we went in the weight room and I helped supervise the boys while they were exercising. It was fun, one of my cousins, Jared, was in there! (but I think he was in the class of the other teacher who was there, but it was still fun to see him there) So For the next two hours, I had the boys do 2 laps and then play basketball on the courts outside. In the 2nd hour I shot some hoops with some of them, and in 3rd hour played a bit of 4-Square with some of the boys. (it was their idea, and I joined them... funny that high school boys would want to play it, it was a good idea!) We had a bit of trauma that hour too, head trauma, that is. One of the boys I guess somehow hit the back of his head on one of the poles and I think split it, it was bleeding on the back of his head and neck, and blood was on his hand from holding it against his head. Thankfully he was able to walk and the aid took him to the nurse.
The next hour was JV football, and it was combined with another class. The other coach said he'd take over and they watched films in the boys locker room, so I had an extra free hour. :) The hour following that was lunch for me, and the one after that was prep. So I had 3 hours to chill at HHS! I ate for the first time in the faculty eating area, and that was nice. Then I entertained myself with my phone for a while. The last class was a baseball class, but we just did the same 2 laps and played basketball. Over the course of the day I saw my cousins Sharilyn, Jared, Justin, Alex, and my wonderful brother Brett! It was fun to see them while at my job.
Today, I subbed for Child Development and Toybox at Mesquite High, which went fine. In 2 of the hours we watched part of Mary Poppins and the kids answered questions. In Toybox Lab, there were others in charge so I just helped, which was nice. The little kids were so cute!
On Friday I am going to be subbing at HHS again, for orchestra! Aah! That is a HUGE class, (all of the classes are, that I know of) and I don't know what I'll be able to do, it's not the same as most classes. I hope things go smoothly, I let the sub coordinator know I don't know how to conduct, but the teacher said he thinks I will do fine. We'll see! I hope it goes well. Thankfully I think he said there would be someone else there too.
Wonderful news! My sister Jenn and her cute kids are here to visit! I am so glad, it's so nice to see all of them again. It will be fun to spend time with them, I am taking off work tomorrow and get to be with them. I love being with my family members, it is the best.
