What an amazing two weeks. I long ago gave up feeling guilty for being happy that I'm working. Yes, it typically means that someone is ill or dealing with personal issues, but it means that I have a purpose. I love the freedom I have with subbing, if only I could get consistent work in elementary schools instead of always waiting for the last second or not getting a job at all for multiple days. I could live a very happy life with three days a week. The problem is that I average way less than that. Since the beginning of the school year I've only worked 34 days.
For the last two weeks I've been working with my favorite group of kids, in my favorite class, in my favorite grade, in a school that just happens to feel like home. Not to mention the way I feel around the staff. It was a great time to be in an elementary school too! Just in time for Dr. Seuss's 109th birthday and Read Across America! Our school celebrated with kicking off a Read-A-Thon and some great theme days and books to go with them!
Friday was Pajama day and featured the book "Happy Birthday to You!" Kids and teachers wore pajamas and slippers, our class watched Horton Hears a Who, had Hot Chocolate, cupcakes, gummy bookworms, and read for a good portion of the day!
Monday was "Green Eggs and Ham" day and we wore green! I even made sure to wear green eyeshadow and earrings!
