Miss Nelson or Miss Swamp?


I LOVE
SUBSTITUTE
TEACHING!!! This is of course after one day but still I think that is a pretty good attitude to have. The class wasn't perfect but they weren't the monsters I had imagined at two in the morning when I couldn't sleep. One student asked me if I had always taught this grade level and another said he hoped I would be there tomorrow! It's funny since I tried to model myself after Viola Swamp from the "Miss Nelson" books. (Totally worth checking out whether you are a teacher or not). Viola is like a witch lady substitute teacher and not to be messed with. I'm sure I appear more Miss Nelson-esque to the outside world but don' let this face fool you!

haha i had to pull out the evil witch lady teacher on a few kids recently, too... nobody i know believes i can do that... but i do, and it works! some of the kids are little monsters... but only until they know your threats aren't empty. then they start to shape up. little weirdos.
