This week we discussed that at some time every teacher has to be out, whether for a short time (like a meeting) or the whole day. Teachers get sick, teachers get sent to trainings, etc. We talked about the book Miss Nelson is Missing, in which the teacher goes missing and the students have a substitute. Together, the students brainstormed rules for when a substitute is here. They thought about what would need to happen for everyone to have a good day, be a happy class and have the substitute be able to compliment them to me. We came up with this list (all the students' ideas) and it has been posted in the room. Good thing too because I found out tomorrow I have 2 meetings, one in the morning for about an hour and one in the afternoon, so there will be our first substitute(s)! Feel free to use this poster or the topic when discussing how school is going with your child!
