It seems oddly fitting that on a milestone day for me things would be crazy. Today’s crazy stuff actually started in December when I picked up the job. It was set for 2 days, with the second being a teacher work day. I don’t work on those days, so I should have known something weird was going on.
I figured it was just someone being trigger happy when putting in the days, not really a big deal. I got into the room and the teacher showed up though. She was as confused as I was, and left to get some things done and to see what was going on. While she was gone the assistant came in and thought that maybe the teacher was there to get a few things done and would be leaving.
Meanwhile at the room next door the teacher was double jealous. Not only was this other class getting a boy as a sub, she wasn’t going to get one for some reason. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she had a student in there who needed a shadow and the school figured that would be good enough. Except that the shadow person that day was also a sub. Weird.
Thankfully for me the school decided that since I was there I could just go over to this other teacher’s class and sub there instead. Once the day started it was normal kindergarten.
Well, as normal as kindergarten gets when the teddy bears spent the night and didn’t stay in the kid’s cubbies like they were supposed to. Those bears were the worst behaved things I saw all day. Which is just fine with me.
