As planned, my CT was gone today. Her grandfather had surgery. I created the lessons and ran the classes. It went well, while the substitute sat and basically got paid for doing absolutely nothing. At this point I was wondering whether or not we can be paid to be the subs. If anyone knows let me know. Come to find out, I have a whole week of this. My CT’s grandpa passed away during his surgery (please say a prayer for her and her family even though you don’t know her). She called upset and told me I would be running the show the next week, which I had not planned on for all four classes. I guess I am looking at this as a wonderful opportunity to deal with a crazy planning schedule.
What I am semi-excited about is the fact that this is homecoming week. I love homecoming. The students are so excited and many of them have been willing participants in the school spirit days. I have always been huge on school spirit. I would be interested to see how the level of school spirit is connected with the grades of students in the classroom (it might be a fun study). Anyway, I was super involved in high school, doing everything with this event, as I was student council VP. I was even out of school all day on Friday to make sure everything was set. My CT is head of student council and consequently I will be taking over the events for Friday. I know it is an unfortunate situation for her, but I am more than willing to help because I love this stuff. It brings me back to my high school days. So Friday I will be helping with the school wide assembly, filled with fun fun games. And the big football game will be equally exciting. Actually, Otsego has the longest losing streak in the state (36 games) and so a win would be giganitic on this festive occasion!!!!
So, as you can see, the rest of this week will be incredibly busy. I am looking foward to all of the excitement!!!
