 Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday, September 13th yesterday. I took the day off I had an ultrasound during the day so I didn't want to get an afternoon sub because they're really really hard to get and So I just took the entire day off. I figured it was much easier on everyone if I just took the whole day Because for some reason afternoon subs They either take the job and then realize it's just the afternoon and they change their mind and they drop out and then Everyone's scrambling. So I just took the whole day off and it was much easier for everyone so I'm here to see how my kids did and see the sub report and See if they cleaned up after themselves and everything like that So I will show you guys when they get to work, but I am going to stop at Starbucks this morning because I'm leaving a Little bit earlier than normal because I did my hair last night and I just threw on some powder and I actually like Normally my alarm is set for 5.15 and I literally snooze it until 6 and this morning I well last night I set my alarm for 5 45 and then this morning I only snooze my alarm once so I think there's something to that like I got an extra 30 minutes of sleep That wasn't like anticipating anything. So I think tonight. I'll set my alarm for like 550 that way I can only snooze once Because I'll I'll only snooze if I know I can afford it like I won't snooze if I know that I need to get up So I'm gonna try that tonight Also, I'm running Starbucks because Mandy from I think she's from a few blocks ago um She did my bus duty yesterday, and she does not want me to repay her with Me doing her duty. So I told her I would Bring her Starbucks Because I can do that. So as I am turning 32 weeks pregnant this week the whole you need a plan for a sub thing has hit me and I'm kind of not excited about it As we all know as teachers planning for subs is a lot more difficult than planning for ourselves because obviously we know You know what we're teaching we know what strategies to use we know which activities we want to do and if we don't know We know what resources to use to go and find those activities and those things that we want to use Now as a substitute depending on the sub if they're you know a retired teacher Then they probably do know the means to go and find those things if they're just Somebody that got a degree in something else and they're in limbo, and they're not really sure what to do And they're subbing then they really don't have you know a clue on how to plan for Students or what to do to teach them certain things So I'm trying to cross my fingers that I'm gonna find somebody. That's either a Trying to become a teacher so they'll want to plan and want to start looking into things for themselves Without me having to do everything Or somebody that's been a teacher before that knows what they're doing and that can plan for themselves Now I do have every intention and I'm gonna start probably next week Maybe the week after that I am gonna start planning a Week at a time for my sub and Because for me planning is easy. It's my fourth year teaching fourth grade. I know what to do. I know what's coming I know what needs to be done So I don't feel like I need to sit down and like script out plans every week. I can just I know my standard I know my objective. I know what needs to be done So all I need to do is really list those things out for myself But for a sub I kind of do need to script things out and I kind of do need to go more in depth So I think I'm gonna start planning For my sub one week at a time and try to get an entire months worth of plans written up for the sub Now the problem with that is that I really don't know when I'm gonna start needing the sub because I really don't know when My son is gonna want to come So I guess I'm just gonna plan for like I'll have two or three days of emergency sub plans that way I Can like if I leave in the middle of the week Why are you okay? They're not scrambling and then I'll have a fresh week Starting that next week over Planned so that it's like okay. This is what I'm teaching these kids. Okay, so I'm gonna start doing that probably next week and Then that way I have at least a month's worth of really good plans for the sub and Then after that depending on who I get I'll be able to like plan along You know like After the first month, you know the first month I'm gonna want to spend not doing anything just being with my sweet sweet baby and my husband and Just being present and not being at work at all and then after the first month I can just you know, like sit down and plan You know during the day and have those plans like Going up as needed. So like the first month, you know, then Keep going after that and like I said depending on who I get they might know how to plan and Having my plans might be a good start for them God, the Sun is freaking terrible. I can't see anything Hopefully no one's coming because she's awful So, yeah eternity leave not as fun as you think Not for a teacher because it's so much work to get ready for it I feel like not only do I have to prepare for the baby to come But I also have to prepare for myself to leave so it's like multiple like it's like Double the work to prepare for a baby when you're a teacher So, yeah, that's real talk right now Hey guys, so I just walked into my room and pretty good. It's clean It's not put away like I normally do but it's clean. It looks like They earned two oh, yes and no oops So they got their Tuesday. Here's the little note that I left for them I need doing Me Nice I found a Reese I Haven't even read my little thing yet. I was getting ready to read it But it looks like it was okay because it says Thank you for being so well organized the class received a five MPE They were well behaved in the hallway didn't had trouble focusing and having and not have finished their work You have a wonderful students. Oh so I made sure to leave a really detailed schedule of everything and I left them a little note Says my super troopers. I'm sorry that I cannot be here today. I already miss you Please follow all of your normal procedures and be kind to your guest teacher You are all amazing and I know you will make me proud keep our room clean and be on your best behavior I'm counting on you. Don't forget. I will be watching class. Dojo In those points. I love you so so much love Darth Valdes. We have an inside joke They're my super troopers and I'm Darth Valdes How are you? good to know and Then I always just print out my subplans on plan book because it's so nice and organized with times and everything and then I give them a Little letter that I write just kind of describing the day and then these are my Behavior expectations just in case they have questions about that So yeah overall very good, and then what I normally do After a sub comes is I give this This is my sub tub, but I don't really use it as a sub tub. I give this substitute follow-up form And even though it has the wrong date on it, it's funny. This is the same sub that I had Before but it's the same girl as yesterday But it's like how do you feel the day went? What did you learn that day? Were there any lessons that weren't completed or that you had trouble understanding? How was the behavior of the classroom? How was your behavior anything else? You'd like to add about the class substitute or other issues So it kind of gives all the kids a way of ratting out the stinkers But from the note that I got from the sub It looks like I only had two students that had a hard time And it looks like it wasn't that hard of a time They just had trouble focusing and not finishing their work, which they do that for me, too. So that's okay We'll just have a conversation So now I need to get ready for the day I just turned my computer on So we will see you Hopefully the internet works because Last time I was here The network was not working and I literally could not get anything printed or anything and it was really frustrating Yesterday they should have had an introduction to food webs and things like that because today we're gonna do a food web activity and I want them to be kind of first in what food webs are especially because we're on a field trip on Friday and Their topic is food webs So This is an 87 page activity pack, but I'm probably not gonna use the whole thing Anyways, I'm just getting ready for the day.
