3rd Grade

I subbed third grade today. It still felt like second grade, but that is ok. I went to a school that I had never been to, but there are a few family members at the school that are related to people that work at the school I did my student teaching at. Make sense?

Anywho, my friend, Kristine's, daughter was in my class today which was kind of fun. Kristine gave her a donut and a little note for me which was super tasty. Thanks again, friend!

I had quite an experience with a a student today. I didn't think that tantrums still existed at the age of 8, but I was clearly mistaken (have mercy on me when I am a mother). A little boy in my class threw three tantrums today! I thought my brains were going to fly out of my head. He cried because he got out of greek dodgeball, threw a fit because he wasn't chosen for student of the month, and threw another fit because he was not closest to the guessing jar. REALLY!? I finally just left him alone and let him cry on the floor.

The mom of one of the teachers I will be long term subbing for works at the school I was at today and she put me in to sub two days of first grade next week. I am really excited because I haven't had too much experience with first grade, so this will give me a chance to get more familiar with that grade. =)

Quotes of the day:

1.
Student: Miss. Hobbs, you know where you should work?
Me: Where?
Student: Hobby Lobby... Get it?

2.
(While students are taking a timed 30 minute math test...)
Me: You need to get going or you are going to run out of time.
Student: It is too hard!
Me: No it isn't. You learned this in kindergarten.
Student: Fine. I will take out my magic wand and cast a spell to get my test done.
(Takes out invisible magic wand and begins moving his wrist like Harry Potter and says a spell...) There! My paper will finish on its own.
Me: (5 minutes later) Your spell didn't work. GET GOING!
Student: Ughhhhhhh.
