Kirsten has a new winter attire! Thanks to "Grandma" Deb! Addy may also have to borrow it since I haven't made her a winter coat yet. . . (I being Charlene...Luke has yet to hone his sewing skills....all he can do is hand stitch patches on to his jeans....which is awesome! But not a winter coat for Addy...). Now that I'm finally done with my long term substitute teaching position, I may finally have time for blog updates and crafting! I've all ready made a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet with my free mornings. I'm still doing half days in my long term class until Thanksgiving so that the teacher can ease back in. Though, I think some of these high school kids are just as needy as her infant child! If not more....plus there can be an entire room full of them!
My long term Chemistry teacher positing was a lot of fun. It was at the same school where I did my student teaching so I knew a lot of the students before it even began. Some of them used to like me and now are excited that I'm leaving... What I find most interesting is that I'm teaching the same grade and class at the same school....and the students are exponentially more whinny! And they do less homework or work in class. It's pretty darn ridiculous! I've had some epically horrible scores on tests and assignments and they don't take responsibility for them. Sometimes it's 'my fault' (which it never is since I cover my tail pretty darn well to avoid problems like that) and other times they feel these things just happen to them. Such a strange and detrimental thought process... Despite all that it was a lot of fun and I'll miss it! Hopefully I get another long term position soon! Though the Spanish teacher just had a kid and I can only think of two science teachers in the entire district who MIGHT get pregnant anytime soon.
