Just making a little extra cash at the school I work at. I have three big responsibilities and then I get payed:

1. Get to the gym at 7:30 and monitor the 3rd-5th graders. Help them line up when the morning bell rings.

2. Sit with the 8th graders at mass and make sure they behave. This will certainly be the big challenge of the day.

3. Sit in on Ms. Prihoda's 2nd, 3rd and 4th period science class. 8th graders again. They have a test on Friday so I'm just passing out study guides and keeping them on task.

I'm done by lunch, this shouldn't be hard at all. I'm going to eat my words I'm sure.

Good luck

tips:
question everything. sometimes we used to switch identities and places in the classroom when subs came in. also the subs who told awesome stories became the favorites that everyone liked more than the actual teacher. just don't start any stories like this "so i was on the pearl jam message board..." they will know your weakness and pinpoint it like the dogs they are.

"Gather around girls, guys, listen:

So there was this woman and she was, uh, on an airplane and she's flying to meet her fiancé sailing high above the--the largest ocean on planet earth and she was seated next to this man who, you know she had tried to start conversations an really--really the only thing she heard him say was to order his bloody mary and she's sitting there and she's reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the--the name of and she's feeling very bored and very despondent and--and then, uh, suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the--the engines gave out and they started just falling -an- thirty thousand feet and the pilot's on the microphone and he's saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Oh My God, I'm Sorry" and apologizing and she looks at the man and she--and she says, "Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says, "We're going to a party, it--it's a birthday party. It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much." And then, uh, he starts humming this little tune and--and, uh, it kind of goes like this, it's kinda:

One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four"

I should probably bring my guitar too, right?

if i had to teach kids, even in a substitute setting, i would prefer either really young kids or late high school age. the inbetween is not something i would want to deal with (although i guess 5th and 6th may be alright.)

I know a handful of the eighth graders romt he extended day program I work at, and trust me, you're right. Eighth grade is quite a difficult age. I think McParadigm would agree. Ideally I'd like to sub for the second graders but I'm excited about this too.

my stepsister just hit 9th grade. every once in awhile she has friends over and...yeah, it'll be great when they all grow up. waaaaaay too much drama

I thought you were going to say something kind of awkward for a second.

that was funny btw

i don't get that reference

8th grade was the worst school year of my life. So much bullying and fights. Then I got suspended for the rest of the year in May for flipping a table over and telling the whole class to fuck off and commit suicide. Luckily my grades were high enough so I passed.

STICK IT TO THE MAN!
