Subbing in Preschool
Well, Friday I subbed in a Pre-K class at my preschool. It was pretty interesting and fun! Not like the last time I subbed in this class. The biggest trouble-maker was absent and it made this class a breeze to handle. It just goes to show you that one bad apple CAN spoil the whole bunch! We had fun because it was St. Patricks Day and we hid Lenny the Leprechaun, looked for gold on the playground and all in all it was a fun day. We even had green frosted donuts...blech, no thanks! Well, the kids loved them.
I have never really enjoyed subbing because you walk into someone elses problems and discipline method. I would much rather have my own class and start with my rules from the beginning.
I am still waiting to see what will be opening up at my campus in regards to a job. Right now I am a lowly support staff member, basically potty patrol. And let me tell you even though the children are all supposed to be way past potty training, there are still those who are definitely not! I have had my kids and they are older than the potty training age so I have been there done that! Unfortunately the director of the preschool is not much into confrontation so if a parent is putting up a fuss they stay.
So therefore, no more support staff for me.
I am hoping they will begin an art program in the preschool, because the school has NO free art, nothing in regards to self expression through art. All they ever do is crafts. Here is the snowmans body, eyes, nose, hat and scarf, now cut, paste and color and ta-da! They call that art. Haaruummph!
So I am praying for an opening once the budget is put through.
Otherwise there may be a Pre-K aide position which would be ok too.
So that is the latest, not the greatest.

I hope you get your own class. That would be best because then it is all you, and you're not having to mop up after someone else - plus no matter what age, kids just don't behave as well for a sub as they do for the regular teacher. There's that whole "testing" that goes on when you're a sub. No fun.
I'm praying for you!
