subbin

so I've been a sub this week. it's been good, but hard. even with going over plans with teachers, and knowing the kids, there are still a million ways that any class works that are routine to them and unknown to me. so... i was wrong a lot. but the kids like knowing better than me and were mostly helpful.

things kids said to me this week:

are you trying to be a teacher? (5th grader)

you should be a teacher. (5th grader)

you sound like a boy. (Kindergartener)

you are weird. (K)

you a funny teacher. I like you. (K)

why you using that weird voice, girl? (K)

another story:

2 Ks were making many bears with a playdoh mold. they had a long dicussion of how many bears they would make and how they would be famous doing it. the number of bears kept going up and up. One kid said "and then, we'll have 200 bears, and then we'll be dads." his buddy said, "yeah, and hen we'll make more bears and then we'll be old. we will still be famous, we'll just have to go to the old famous people home house and make bears there."

is that funny?

i don't know anymore.

off to nap.
