first I forgot how fun april fools was until i got to the school today. The Kids were playing tricks left and right on both the students and to the sub. I was placed in a fourth grade science class that had a sub. When i walked in the office the secretary said the sub called 2 times and school only started 15 min ago so i was sent to help her. Since i know the kids, soon as I walked in they went right to their seats and stopped playing around. It was pretty funny that i had more control then the sub did. Since they had a sub they mostly did busy work. They worked on a packet dealing with rocks and minerals. The sub read to them, they did the questions, then we went over it as a class and thge students took turns coming up to write their answers on the smart board. Later on I got to give the weekly spelling test which is always fun for me.

  1. Emily, I like that you are actively participating in this class and that the student know and respond to you!

    One thought about subs for you all. YOU can make your lesson plans for your subs such that real meaningful activities happen! Rather than busy work, you can come up with ways that your sub can take whatever you are doing and interact with the students. And... you can prepare the class for anytime you will be out from the first day of school.

    Good blog, Emily.

  2. Actually come to think of it i had a family come in on april 1st for an early dinner and the kids kept going around telling everyone april fools jokes, he got a kick out of it and so did his 2 brothers. I could not stop laughing. Kids these days are so funny with what they come up with.
