So I'll make up for skipping so many days by posting twice today, I guess. I got to substitute for a first grade class today. Man o man, there is nothing like a bunch of 6 year olds who are just going into their third week of class. We definitely had problems listening, and it was a noisy afternoon after lunch, but they were fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

And as expected, it's nice to be back in the classroom, and remembering just why I'm slogging through all these social-sciency studies on how kids learn and how their background impacts them in class and whatnot. It's also nice to start seeing how teachers set things up in their classrooms. I'm makiing notes on both what I want to do AND what I want to do differently. All in all, it was a good day.
