Gym Teacher..

Today was my first day as the substitute gym teacher and boy was it an adventure.  As was the case with 6^th grad and getting a new respect for Mrs. Kalher ( I’m sorry I still can’t spell your name right) I have a new respect for Mr. Labella! I had a 5^th grade class of 19 they remind me of my class just plain nuts! Constant running back and forth, 40 mins with each class no break in between from 8:20-11:40. The best was when I was teaching 4^th grade and the teams just didn’t end up fair at all! Team 1 was just killing team 3 to the point that one kid Zach decided that he wasn’t going to let his teammates go after the ball until it was at the half court line. This didn’t make his teammates too happy but I was like YAY!! Those parents and coaches he has have done a great job!  Then I sat down with two of his teammate and asked them how they would feel if they were getting their butts kicked like that and that seemed to make them understand a little at least.  Back on Wednesday for day 2 of 3 with the adventure of having the 6^th grade again… scared…. But I know what they are like now! :) I’m liking subbing still not sure that teaching is for me though…
