Day Two of Subbing

Here it is a week later and I have officially finished my second day as a sub.  This was a different school and a whole different type of class all together.  I showed up at the elementary school 20 minutes early so I could familiarize myself with the classroom and the lesson plan that the teacher was leaving behind. This was an interesting assignment because I actually got to meet the teacher before the beginning of the school day to go over the lesson.  This was also a self contained special education classroom within the elementary school for 1st and 2nd grade students.  I found out from talking with the teacher that there was one student with muscular dystrophy another with a colostomy and one with cerebral palsy.  Once I met the students I really grew to like this class as the day went on.  The first part of the day was spent in art where the students got to glaze I got to help the student with cerebral palsy in that class I was amazed at how enthusiastic he was to be working on art.  This has been one of the more enjoyable classes that I have been in during the last year.  I think that maybe down the road I wouldn't mind going back to school and getting a degree in special education.  The afternoon was taken up mostly by an assembly based on a children's story.  At the end of the day I walked the kids to the bus so they could head home.
