Release Time Day 1

My first subbing day was for a 4th grade teacher - who happened to be one of my host teachers during my internship. It was really great to see the class again and get back into the routine of teaching. Since I already knew the format of the lesson plans and the schedule of the classroom I didn't run into any major obstacles. The students, as well as the other teachers in the collaborative classroom, made it very easy for me. I spent a lot of time catching up with the students and the other teachers, and I was glad to be back! Since it was only a half-day, I spent the morning preparing myself to be back in the class. I made sure to arrive early so that I could chat with the classroom teacher and get lessons/routines squared away. All in all, I would say that my first day was definitely a success, and it was a nice stepping stone into the "world" of subbing!!
