I just learned last week that my time with my students is coming to a close. It is bitter sweet news, because I'm very happy their regular teacher has healed up from her injury and the kids will be reunited with her, but I'm also sad to say goodbye. I have grown so fond of them over the past five weeks and wish I could be with them for the rest of the school year. Despite the behavioral issues and lack of motivation, many of the students have etched their way into a special place in my heart.
However, I do look forward to the adventures to come as a NLMSD substitute. I'm sure their will be good days and bad days, good classes and bad classes. I'm still overjoyed with the blessing to have been hired into the district as a substitute in this especially difficult economy and have hopes that next year I'll be able to secure my own classroom.
