Special Day Class

Today I had the opportunity to sub for a special day class for the very first time.

I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect. The assignment was only half day, so I felt a little more comfortable.

Once I walked out onto the playground to meet my class I instantly felt relief. My 10 students were SOOOO adorable! They smiled at me and said hello to me.

The aides were extremely welcoming as well. I really enjoyed talking to them about their careers and I enjoyed hearing stories about the students.

One of the students would not stop eating rocks, though, and I was not quite sure how to handle the situation. Every time I told her to put the rock in the trash, she hid under the table or pretended like I was talking to someone else.

At the end of the day, we celebrated a little boy's birthday. He handed out cupcakes, and I was so glad to receive a little treat at the end of the day.

I was also able to talk to the teacher after school. He seemed so nice. During my student teaching I never had a chance to talk to him, and he seemed so humbled and willing to help. I really look forward to speaking to him again in the near future and hopefully sub for him again.
