My 6th grade assignment did not start very well
yesterday. I couldn’t get in the classroom door. It was the right key but door
simply would not open.
“Oh, yea. We forgot. You have to give the door a bit of a shoulder/bump
action while turning the key. Go out and wait by the classroom and we’ll have
the custodian help you get in.”
Now that I’m in the classroom (…and after testing my prowess
practicing the shoulder bump door opening procedure to make sure I could
actually replicate the result for the rest of the day), I found my lesson plan.
Now, I’ve experienced all manner of lesson plans from the no lesson
plan, the tiny
lesson plan, the giant
plan, the Hi-Tech
plan, last
minute plan and everything else in between.
I’d have to say that this might be the most complete
detailed plan I’ve ever come across. Nine pages long and I didn’t even get to
the daily work until page 7.
The last three pages of the plan dealt with what I would
consider the “working guts” of the lesson plan.
The first six pages dealt with all manner of emergency drill
procedures, procedures needed to address the medical issues with the twelve (of
31 total) students in class with allergies, EpiPens, learning, behavior,
physical disabilities and what to do or who to go to in the event I needed help.
It even had instruction on how to “open the door”!
That particular page would have been especially helpful if
it had been taped to the outside of the door this morning.

I'm a substitute too, and it's funny how we all seem to have a lot of the same problems. Other people just don't understand. ~Kelli
