I got my first call to teach on Jan 22 and have been averaging 2 days a week ever since. The bad part of it, the super virus was raging through the schools and after a year of being secluded from the public, I was ripe for the picking. Every week I went in and worked a couple of days then came home and fell in the bed so sick I could barely raise my head for 3-4 days. Just as I started to feel a little better I would get a call to teach another class and off I would go.
I have taught pre-k, k, 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, music, special ed, library covering all grades k-8, and several days of high school. Sometimes the younger ones can be little brats and I almost want to strangle them but really they are cute and usually tickle me. Sometimes it is tough trying to look mean while I am dying to fall over laughing at how naive they are.
Probably won't get any calls next week, the county is running TCAP's (testing for grade levels) and the teachers are required to be there except for dire emergencies. I will try to catch up a few things around here including getting a few plants started and getting my knitting machine up and running.
