One of those days...

Alright, after waking up twice to phone calls for subbing (neither of which I accepted), I finally woke up and picked my own job online:P Yes, silly me, ignore that! Anyway, this came to my most recent good news/bad news day. Wanna hear the good news or bad news first?
*cricket*
Okay, we'll go good. Good today was that I got to work in the elementary school that I used to take a girl I nannied to in the summer months while her parents worked.

Bad news? I came in on the wrong day! My job is for TOMORROW, but I don't have a calendar in my room other than on the laptop, so I didn't check that I didn't have to work today! Oh man! At least the lady in the office was so sweet and understanding. She asked if I wanted to work for half a day as an IA (Instructional Assistant). I decided it was better than nothing and went upstairs to work.

To start off, the teacher had me laminate some things she had created - posters of sorts, I guess. However, I fought tooth and nail with the laminator to get it to work!! I ended up nearly ruining 2 of her posters and had to cut the pages out several times. Finally another teacher helped me out and I got the last 2 done right. I went back to the room to one of the best-behaved classes of Kindergarteners I've seen in a very, very long time. They weren't THE best (that honor is reserved for Mrs. Rodgers that works at the school I student-taught at:) ), but they listened to the teacher and understood the rules of the game, as it were. We had fun playing and completing activities.

However, this is when my day got fun. Around 10 (I was supposed to leave at 11:30), the nice lady from the office came up and asked me if I wanted to work the 2nd part of the day, too:P Seems that another IA had to leave at 12 and I would be replacing her until 3:30 when the kids left. I said yes, slightly begrudgingly, but it worked out well. The second class was quiet for a little while, but their true colors were revealed as they let loose throughout the room:P Needless to say, I wish it was Friday....

But, I experienced 2 IA positions in one day, AND I have a sub teaching job tomorrow at the same place. YAY!!:)
