My Teaching Experiences

I learned the value of being well prepared for an unexpected substitute. After Monday when I almost lost my voice in class I lost it completely that evening at home. I also developed conjunctivitis that evening. I had my husband call K---- and let her know that the doctor forbade me from leaving the couch for two days due to my illicitly contagious state. Thankfully, I had everything for the week ready to go already so my husband was able to give K---- simple directions as to both my plans and where I keep everything. When I returned on Friday, the trial was over. I was sad to have missed it, but I hear it went well. Granted, I had the best substitute teacher ever, since it was, afterall, her classroom she was taking over for a couple days, but I would have hated to have my husband call her and tell her "Well, you'll just have to figure out something for the next couple days..."
