I have a substitute teaching job all this week. This one is high school level, and I love it!  Honestly, I was a little nervous that the older kids would intimidate me. Then when I got there, a 6'5" TALL big guy showed me to my classroom. What had I gotten myself into today?

Once in the classroom, though, I was right at home. These are delightful students. Very open, willing to accept me at face value. They were interested in learning. I actually saw the light bulb go on in a student's brain, when he finally understood what I was teaching him. It was an amazing feeling!  Oh, and I taught MATH! Anybody who knows me knows what a huge accomplishment that is. But I did it, and I enjoyed it!

I look forward to going back in the morning. In fact, I already have my tote packed and my lunch made. I have writing or thought prompts for whenever there is a few extra minutes at the end of class. I'm PREPARED!

In other news, we signed up for dance. I know Mikey's going to want to do hip hop this year. His buddy, Rob, is taking hip hop. Matt's taking hip hop and tap. Mikey's taking hip hop. Emily's taking tap, ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, tap and hip hop. I'm taking adult and tap. I talked another mom into taking tap with me!

I better head to bed. Morning comes early these days!
