I really shouldn't have been surprised. The call was late. The secretary, as she checked me in, informed me that Mr. C was going to cover Ms. D's 5th period, so since he called out the extra assignment was mine. So, not a planned absence.
Still, it was a shock to find no lesson plans in the classroom.
In my usual scramble, I noted that on the board the teacher had written: "Benchmark exam tomorrow." Well, if he told the class yesterday that the benchmark was tomorrow...
Then I noticed on the floor next to my feet a big clear bag with benchmark exams in it. Score!
I pulled everything out. I was just getting to the sorting when the phone rang. The teacher. The lesson plan? Benchmark exams.
Okay, then.

Good thing you noticed that bag of exams!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! I wonder if the students would have told you they were to have benchmark exams if he hadn't called... :)
