I got the official word this morning...tomorrow I get to go back to being a regular sub. Just a regular, where ever I am needed sub. I am so pleased! The teacher for whom I've been in is still not returning this year, but they have been able to find a sub who is licensed. I am so very grateful. While I certainly would've done it, and the extra money would've been nice, it was tough. Now the students know that their teacher isn't coming back and they know that the sub will be in charge of them for the rest of the year.
It was a tough start to the morning though. The classroom had been emptied of personal belongings, and I had students who were crying. There were a few other odd things that happened, and Andrew was not pleased that I had to deal with things that were just kind of thrown at me. He ended up getting an administrator to come in and talk to the students. That helped to settle things down tremendously. I can't even begin to describe the burden I feel has been lifted. It was really tough when I was trying to keep things moving along and do what was best for the students, but I myself often didn't know what we were doing until arriving in the morning. He has some sections that are specific to at-risk students and keeping them on track, and I didn't feel that I had a clue what I was doing in that regard at all. I didn't want the kids to suffer though, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I am totally okay to going back to being the body in the classroom!
