日本語が話せますか？ If the characters above got rendered properly in your browser you should see Japanese writing. The proper response for me would be, say what? Of course, if I knew what that said the real response should be: いいえ、私は日本語を話さない。 Sorry, I guess you probably don’t know Japanese either. The first question was, “Do you speak […]

Well, that Thursday entry was less than exciting I think. Hopefully this will be an improvement- 8th grade. In near-city district. At the end of the year. When another job popped up in a different district I was tempted to dump this one for it, but in the end I didn’t have any issues thanks
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
I bookended my three days in elementary (Tuesday was in a mentally impaired classroom) with middle-school jobs at the same school. Monday I subbed for a specialty teacher who teaches a course about cultures. I am not sure what it entails, but is a separate course from the normal history/social studies courses. Being a specialty
Continuing in the soap opera theme of a couple of posts ago, I have one to share from my own experience on Thursday. I didn’t even have to adjust the title to fit as it works well just as it is- they are of course young, and they were quite restless. If anyone knows about

Monday: 5th grade. Location: my hometown, same school as last week’s PE assignment. This wasn’t my favorite fifth grade assignment, but it was still a good day. The day started with specials. As I subbed for PE last week, I knew a little bit of the schedule so I expected this. It’s always nice to

We all know what that date represents. Well, most of us do. As I mentioned a couple of posts ago I worked will ELL students today. One student actually didn’t know about what happened seven years ago as he just came to this country less than a year ago. I suspect there were others as
Sigh. If there is one thing that is deficient it is the software that one of the districts I’m in uses. No teacher comments on jobs, and no way to change the school in the case of a traveling teacher. So, it is up to the teacher to contact the sub and let that sub

Back to middle school, thankfully. Not many would actually say middle school is an improvement over younger grades, but it is over yesterday’s special needs preschool classroom. In any event, I mostly enjoy middle school though there are those days of course. Science was the subject, and will be tomorrow as well since this is
