The first week of subbing...and other thoughts

So this is Dan, and this is my first time posting on this blog. I felt as though I should tell about my first week of subbing. In all, it was a promising week. A few things I learned about during this week is as follow:
1) It can be frustrating trying make students stop talking when I've got no idea how the normal classroom teacher does it.
2) All students believe that every teacher in the world teaches the exact same way as their regular teacher.
3) Middlevilled smells really bad.

After reflecting on those three key lessons I had this week, I realize that I really do enjoy this sort of thing, except for number 3 on the list; that was a terrible smell.

As for Jennifer and I, we're just plugging along with all that we have to do. Jennifer is keeping busy now that she has finally had some consistencey with her student teaching and actually going there. We've had more snow days this month and more snow than I can ever remember. Actually, I measured the snow in the backyard, and there was about 15 inches of snow.

That is really all that is going on. Thanks for reading this and I'm sorry there are no pictures to go along with it.
