Well, it is tomorrow… and the crazy happened. My day was completely filled with teaching. My CT had to go to the doctor again. She was gone all day besides for AP Spanish. I taught 6 out of 7 periods today and I am exhausted. There was a sub in the room (no worries Mrs. C) who yet again didn’t know Spanish. She sat in her chair and I ran the entire class period. I know I was going to be tired when I started teaching full days, but I’m pooped, man. These sweat pants have never seemed so comfortable.
Today I almost sent a kid to ISS, which was a weird feeling. She had just decided that she didn’t want to do her work. I had asked if I could help her work on anything and if she understood what she was doing, and she said no and no. I asked her if something was wrong and she answered, no. I couldn’t get her to look me in the eyes or comply with anything. She normally does what she’s asked, but she’s never thrilled with it. This was just crazy. I chatted with her a couple times to see if I could help or if she was having a hard day. She told me that nothing was wrong at all, but she had decided that she wasn’t going to do anything. And she was serious about that. I sent her to the office where they dealt with her. Other than that incident, today’s total teaching takeover went surprisingly well. It was quite a good day. I’m glad to have gotten all that experience smashed into one day. I’m also glad that today is done and I can sit. I’m going to have to work on my stamina when I’m doing this all day every day.
