Another sub day ...

As a sub I have seen pretty much every type of disorder and problem kids can have and it can get pretty frustrating. However, today I subbed in a gifted classroom and all of the kids were A-MAZING!! I never had to yell once, they all worked hard and silently, and they had respect and manners for me and for one another. It was nice being able to tell them what to do once and then watch them do it without having to constantly remind "johnny" to quit poking "suzy" or to say "it's too loud in here to think so I don't know how anyone is working well". Now don't get me wrong, I love working in all classrooms but today was a nice change of pace for me. Being a gifted teacher would be fun but I would miss working in a regular classroom too much. It was a fun day though ... I would definitely do it again.
