Rain

The day went by rather easily. Because of the rain, the only thing my first period could do was walk the basketball courts. We then went into the cafeteria, which is where 2nd and 4th periods had to stay because of the heaviest rains. The teacher I subbed for had a 3rd period prep, which meant I could have sat around for an hour, but the school gave me another class to cover, and of all subjects, math. The students behaved very well, with the exception of one, who upon my arrival, was standing in the rain getting wet. I had one student who was in my 1st period PE class, and he told the other students that I was cool. That really helped. The part that was hard was when some of the students came up and asked me questions. I think Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Overholt, former math teachers, would have been proud. I was able to answer the questions on volume with little hesitation.

My 4th period PE class had several students that I taught in Options. They were actually good compared to some of the "regular" punk-ass students who were trouble makers. I was especially impressed with the 8th grade Options students who sat quietly at a table and talked. The sun came out during my last two periods and they had to walk. So I had to stand and supervise. That is the part that was tiring. I did walk with a couple of students from Options. I just wanted to know how they were doing because they were able to go into regular classes.

I would have accepted a 3 day teaching assignment at a high school, but because of all the rain, I had to deal with flooding under the house and in the garage. It's a good thing that the sun came out for at least a couple of days.
