This must be Bizzaro week.
While the anticipated disaster with yesterdays 6th graders turned out pretty good, today’s 4th grade class, from which I expected good behavior, got just the opposite.
I intercepted one note passed from a girl to the guy sitting in front of her asking the question/statement: "Do you now you is sexy?"
I looked at my little 4th grade “Lolita” wannabe and with a straight face said: “You spelled ‘know’ wrong” and watched her turn a couple different shades of red as I stapled the note to my daily report.
No more notes were passed today.
All they accomplished today was one practice spelling test, a lot of goofing off and getting the floor clean before I let them out the door to go home.
On the way out, one kid blurted:
“You’re our 2nd most favorite sub!”
Me: “Oh? Who’s #1?”
Kid: “Mr. A-------! He sings songs and let’s us play games!”
No additional comment needed.
I'm surprised they didn't call you their favorite early in the day to butter you up. I was often referred to as the world's funniest substitute. Whatever your label, it can also be a burden.
ReplyDeleteFigures that the sub that lets them get away with everything and do nothing is their favorite.
