Wednesday. Eleventh grade English, seventh period.
There were several familiar faces in the room. This was unsurprising as I was at the school where I had covered Mr. J's math class last school year. The math class was a (mostly) tenth grade math class, so of course I'm going to know several of this year's juniors.
They had questions about their current read: The Crucible. And some of them worked really well. But others...
Xaiden was one of the students who got bored in math and worked ahead. In English? He was pretty vocal about having missed the previous class, so he wasn't familiar with the part of the play the questions were about. I suggested reading it. He did not like that idea.
Jackson was "sucked into" his phone. All period. This was unsurprising as that's how he spent the math class. I wonder if he's destined for the continuation high school. I'd more expect him there than the boy I saw there the week prior.
They were an interesting group. There's something about the last group of the day. Those classes end up being weird.
It was a nice preview. Ms. A is the English teacher I covered in spring 2023 when she was on maternity leave. She's going to go on maternity leave again this coming spring, and she's asked me to cover her classes.
Those kiddos are going to be so surprised when I end up being their long term sub again. *insert evil laugh here*
Oh they are in trouble now … 👿
