My younger daughter teaches gifted elementary students... it's s pull-out program. Each day students come to her classroom from three different elementary schools. One day for each grade level.
Her program doesn't actually start till next Tuesday... giving the regular classroom teachers these last days a chance to get their classrooms organized and running.
So her building has been taking advantage of her not having students... yet. She has been called upon to escort kids to the bathroom... to the nurse... to waiting rides home whether it be parents or bus .. and so on!
Last week she monitored 2 little boys in ISS ( in school suspension)... they had gotten into a fist fight!
Yesterday the school art teacher was absent... so she taught art to kindergartners to 5th graders. Tomorrow she will teach 2nd grade. She's never taught art or 2nd grade!! Luckily the 2nd grade has a student teacher who knows what's planned and my daughter will just be in charge of classroom management!!
If she didn't have meetings on Thursday she'd be teaching art again...
My daughter calls on her way home from school... interesting to hear her daily update!!

Dear Bettina, your daughter surely does seem versatile and . . . willing to try new things and accept a challenger. That speaks so highly of her attitude and also of the way you raised her. What a gift she must be to the school and the school system in Blue Springs. Peace.
I am so nervous for our teachers these days. We're getting outbreaks among students here in Hawaii.
