Recess! Alone. Lunchtime.
Two hours to go. Sigh. No. More. Elementary. School. 2nd. Grade. Goodbye.
(And somebody kicks one girl hard enough to trigger an incident report. Fortunately, I am not responsible for the lunch line. Recess monitors handle that while teachers eat lunch.)
Zombie phrase for the day: Put the scissors down.
Buhhhh duhhhihhhdurr dowww.
P.S. Here we see the one big whammy in subbing. So you sign up to cover meetings. But then two teachers call out sick. Suddenly you have a full day with one group plus a number of extra kids from the second teacher’s class who have been dispersed to different teachers throughout the building. And the alleged lesson plan mostly does not match the materials you are given. Worksheets in the plan do not exist.
Jocelyn. Not. Happy.
