Today we had a sub! It was a crazy experience. Students who are typically our "all-star" students and are well behaved even had rough days. Me and my partner started off the day with morning meeting, The kids were extremely squirmy and were trying to move around the whole time. After that we had small groups. The kids were hard to keep on task but with two SCSU students, two paras and a sub we were able to manage to get some of it done!

This is my third week at Lincoln Elementary School with a second grade class. It's a very diverse classroom full of unique personalities, backgrounds, and cultural experiences. There's nineteen students. We have two children with autism, a nonverbal student, six struggling readers, and a couple of students with behavioral problems. We also have one para that is in here everyday and a few that come in and out throughout the day.

I have also had the thrill of viewing the behavior of students when there is a substitute teacher in the class. It definitely showed me that a lot goes into what a teacher does and how they get students up to the point they are now and with one miss day, that affects the classroom environment a lot. It was also hard from my classroom partner and I to keep everyone on task but luckily one of the other teachers stepped in. That showed the importance of learning to work as a team so that on days like this, the teacher can ensure that the substitute teacher keeps on task with the lesson plan and other things.
