How many of you have had this assignment before? I accepted it with excitement, thinking how great it would be to get a taste of so many grade levels/teacher styles all in one day. But, boy oh boy, was it busy!
You see a roving sub goes from classroom to classroom taking over the class when the main teacher attends grade level meetings. I roved for kindergarten and a 1/2 split. My favorite grades to teach! But, I quickly realized that when my first assignment was over I needed to quickly run to the next classroom so that teacher could leave. I would glance at the teacher, mumble that I was here, and frantically look for lesson plans as the students all began to berate me with questions as to who I was and where was their beloved teacher going?
It all worked out fine. I did great (I hope). I would say the only bad thing was that as a sub I usually have all day to learn the students names, something I am usually very good at. But today, with the fast pace, I didn't know any of the names when they called out to me, "Goodbye Mrs. White!" when I saw them in the hallway leaving for the day.
Oh well.... tomorrow is another day....
