2nd Grade

One Monday toward the end of October, I was sleeping in, because I was only subbing in Hartford that afternoon. The principal at Carlisle Elementary texted me as asked if I would be interested in a long term sub job. Of course I was!! So, she asked if I could come in that morning before I headed to Hartford.

We talked and I met the 2nd Grade that I would teach for. She was due with her baby in the end of November. We set it up so that I could shadow her the next day. I did, and it went well!

The next day I was not scheduled to sub, so of course I had my list of things I was planning on doing! Well... 5:45 I got a phone call! Mandy (who i would be subbing for) had gone into the hospital early that morning to have her baby! Crazy timing on this!! So, I ended up starting teaching the day after I shadowed her! Perfect timing!

Anyways, i've been teaching 2nd grade at Carlisle Elementary ever since! I love it! I have a really good class and the teachers on the 2nd grade team are great! They've been soooo helpful and fun! I've learned so much and it has been a very busy time for me! But I wouldn't trade this time for regular subbing any day!! It will be hard to go back to that! I will be in this classroom until the end of January!

It just turns out that Abby, the teacher across the hall, is pregnant with twins!!! A few weeks ago, she asked me if I could also take her long term subbing job!! Of course I am! They will take her babies April 15th if she hasn't already had them, so I will start this second job in March/April!! It will most likely take me through the end of the year! This class has a couple of kids that will be a challenge for me, but it will also give me more great experience with different situations!

Yesterday was our Winter Party... and our last day before Winter Break! It was a crazy day, but went well! I'm definetly ready for the break tho! Below are some reindeer cookies we make yesterday morning :)
