Subbing fun #SOLC21

 

Read more Slice of Life stories. Maybe even write one!

I reallllyyy didn't want to go to school today.  I woke up with headache and a stiff neck.

So I got out of bed, brewed a big travel mug of coffee and went to work.  I could do this.

I made it through the day, feeling a little better with each group of students.  I wasn't super excited about having to sub during my free periods, but it was fine.  

During the last period, I subbed for health class.  A few of my reading students were among the in-person group, but most of the students didn't know me.

These 6th graders had lots of feedback as I navigated the lesson:

"We played the video yesterday,"
"The notes are the second part of the slide deck."
"You should remind the class about band lessons."

I did my best to make the health lesson on nutrition as engaging as I could (it was 9th hour!).

We bantered about junk food and the five types of vegetables (no, I can't recite them!).

In the end, the students completed their work and tried to get out of class early (nice try, roomies!), and overall the class went well.

The best chat of the day made my heart sing:

"I think a lot of people have already told you this but you are legit the nicest person ever and I want you to be my sub again :)"
