I've been substitute teaching the last week while the high school social studies teacher's wife is having a baby. It's been fun, getting back into a regular schedule, spending time with the kids all day, being in the classroom... I'm not doing much besides handing out worksheets and tests, but things are going fine. I thought maybe today I'd try and document a few images from school... realizing that my time here is coming to a close. I've actually be subbing quite a lot, in different grades and remembering when I taught the entire school and I knew everyone's name. I'm hardly there anymore, but it is nice to know the elementary, middle and high school students by name for the classes I've taught.
I had a sweet moment yesterday afternoon while waiting for the bus sitting on the soccer field. A group of 3rd girls who I had taught a few weeks ago came running up saying "hello Mrs. Coons!" and instantly sat down with me and all put their hands on my tummy and asking "can I feel the baby?" (insert cute Korean accent). I do miss teaching those kids. And being the fun art teacher. Well, next week I sub for both elementary and for art, so it should be fun.
Dave in the meantime, is swimming in outdoor pools in Thailand (at least, this morning he was). He's at a Global Issues Network (GIN) conference there with 4 of our students and 2 other teachers. The conference starts tomorrow so they have today to relax and rest up (they got in at 3 am this morning). My friend Molly is staying with me to keep me company while he is away-- I have great friends! So Dave soaks in the sunshine and I'm trying (it was 75 deg yesterday here!) So.... I think I'll go for a swim now too! Class is over!
