It has a whole new meaning for me this year. You see, I've signed up to be a substitute
I've missed being a teacher!
I have taught children's classes in church since I was a teenager, starting with a Beginners' Sunday School class. I've also taught classes for Missionettes, Rainbows and helped with Royal Rangers. I've shared the job of co-youth director with my hubby at two different churches. I've played piano for children's choirs. I was a volunteer 4-H Club leader for eight years. I homeschooled my own children for sixteen years. And I currently teach Children's Church.
I love kids!
Who knows how long it will be before I get called into the classroom? But, while I wait for that first phone call, I'll be trying to get my ducks in a row.
I want to have my morning routines down to just minutes in case I get a last-minute phone call from the school (which just happens to be at the end of my country lane).
I hope to get my hair trimmed, so I can wash, dry, and run.
I'm putting together a very simple wardrobe of clothes that mix and match.
I've written a list of easy-to-fix meals and am off to the grocery store for the fixin's this morning.
I would love advice/ideas from any of you that are/were teachers or substitutes!
Oh, how WONDERFUL that you teach, Sherry!! Teachers are sometimes Mothers unawares, eh ;)

What age group?
ReplyDeleteI am glad my teaching days are over but they were enjoyable. I went from running a playgroup and ended with mentoring behaviourally challenged primary school age boys.
They werent the only ones being challenged!
I am sure you will enjoy yourself, you are obviously well qualified!
How exciting! I hope you get a call soon:@)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a handle on getting out of the house together and ready to share your love of teaching and being with children!
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me Miss Sherry from Alabama ; )
ReplyDeleteIf anybody can be organized, it's you my friend.
Hope the phone rings off the hook.
