It was raining this morning.
When I got to the classroom juggling umbrella, school bag, sub book, and keys, I saw a post-it on the door. I got in the classroom, unlocked the door, turned on the lights, and headed for the teacher's desk. I found the lesson plans and read through them.
The warning bell rang. One student came in. Then another. After I had a handful of students in the room, the next student who came in commented on how few students there were in the room. Then someone else commented on that post-it.
Oops. I meant to go back and remove it.
The post-it read that the teacher was in the computer lab. We figured that much of the class must of ended up there. I sent a student to go and retrieve them.
After the student left, the phone rang. Yep, the class was there. The computer lab person said she'd send them back.
The computer lab wasn't too far from the classroom. The students returned quickly. I heard comments that they had seen the lights on, but hadn't thought to come in. A couple of them were embarrassed at the mix up.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
So, I marked them all tardy...just kidding.

I appreciate your comments.
I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.
*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.

Your last line made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI have to set up plans for a sub for one day this week for a field trip. (I'm going with one grade, but the other is staying behind) and for jury duty on 11/1.
And I am going to leave the best plans a sub ever had.
The best sub plans are left by teachers who used to be subs. They know what it's like.
