I wrote a post two days ago, but because it involves a video I need permission to link to and the ones I asked have yet to respond. Well, I don’t really know if I’ve asked them yet or not- if I send an email asking a question, is it asked when I hit the […]

(Big Nate ©Lincoln Peirce) This past week I could be found in a middle school every day. In fact, I was in one school for three days for two teachers. I started the week in near-city district at the school that was closed for a few days a couple of weeks ago due to swine

Back to the school I subbed in for art last week, about four doors past in fact in 4th and 5th grade row. It was another day with no break for specials, not even computer lab like Tuesday. The morning consisted of a large language arts block with a reading from their Treasures reading book
While we’re on the military theme (see last post), I should mention yesterday. I subbed at the school with the ELL troubles, right next door to that very room. That was enough to turn a bad day into a much better one, in other words- no problems. It was all eighth grade this time, and

The first job I selected for the fourth district I am now in may still be coming, but the second job was a two-day job for 8th grade language arts. It was at the school where I know a few of the kids from my church. As it turns out the school is only about
And only day this week, partly thanks to my connection issues which are unfortunately still ongoing. I had no internet at all for yesterday afternoon and evening, while today it’s been intermittent. I wonder if the signal is now too powerful if that’s possible? I mean, it was going through a cable that was chewed

Going back to elementary was quite a difference from the last several days, in more than one way. First, going from age 12-14 to age 8. There is a world of difference between teens and second-graders. Second, going from the specials to the academics. The last week has been dominated with Industrial Tech and PE,
