I had high hopes for my day as an art teacher. And when I walked in and saw the art the kids had been doing, I must say, I was impressed. Cityscapes with dimension and color, vibrant displays on the wall- this could be cool.
Then I saw the lesson plan. "Watch Horton Hears a Who in every class. NO ONE does any work on projects." My heart sank a little. Sure, it was be an easy day of volume control, but I gotta say, I like teaching and interacting with the students. So, I was a bit disappointed.
But it did go well. Absolutely no discipline problems, so it was completely easy. But, as funny as the movie was, I had to watch the same part six times. Thankfully, I had a book called Batman and Philosophy loaned to me by my friend Daniel. I can't remember the last time I read over a hundred pages in a book in a day.
Also, I have been experimenting with the best way to have Dr. Pepper at lunch. It generally involves freezing a 20 oz bottle for a period of time and letting it thaw out. Last time I froze it for a few hours the night before and then refrigerated it overnight. It was a tad bit warm. So this time I froze it overnight.
This created a kind of soda bomb that had to be diffused before drinking. It brought some life to the day that it was sorely lacking.
Kristin had her interview at lunch as well. She feels it went really well. In her words, "If I don't get the job, it is not because I had a bad interview." Now, we wait to see what comes of it.
So ends this week. Not a bad one at all. Here is hoping next week leads to more good subbing, and a job offer for Kristin.
