well, survived this subbing assignment. I had 2 5th grade gym classes together with another teacher. a lunch and then 2 5th grade gym classes by myself.
the periods were shortened, and the game was one without a lot of rules.
and I survived.
at least one girl started crying because she couldn't be with her friends. I ended up moving one of her friends into her group (to de-escalate a problem)....but on opposite teams.
one boy got to sit for a long time since he kept acting up.
2 other kids got to sit as well because they kept acting up.
all in all, a fun time! no kids sent to the office....a few were close, though.
and mental note....stay away from the 5th grade gym classes in the future!
EDIT:
also, found a great way to not do so hot in a divorce battle.....
as many of you know, my cousin is going through a divorce. his estranged wife is having an affair with a 50-some year old, well, i guess female. but since this individual makes me think of the Swamp Thing, I feel it would be rude to the female gender to call this individual a female.
now, currently, the custody agreement is that my cousin has his children for a week, then she has them for a week, switch back and so forth. if one parent needs babysitting, the other parent is the first choice and should be available if possible (my cousin....so far, every time he has said "yes," while every time she has refused). so it seems that Swamp Thing (as I call it) has a school reunion coming up, which happens to start on the Friday my cousin's wife has her sons. so her solution to this? she's having my cousin get their sons 2 days earlier, so she can go with Swamp Thing (mind you, they say they are just friends right now) to this High School Reunion that is out of town.
now, I'm not a judge, but someone saying "Well, I needed to go out of town for 2 days during my week, so I let my estranged husband who I constantly bash and say is so bad have his kids 2 extra days so I can go to a reunion with my 'friend' for those 2 days," might not look so good...what do you think?
and the estranged wife wonders why her lawyer said "settle." hmmm....could it be actions like this? her past psychiatric record? or the fact that my cousin's witness list would be....
HER father
HER mother
HER brother
then his family, friends, and such. and that includes an eye witness of her smoking with her youngest (now 2, 1 at the time) in the car with her. and then there's the issues of her drug use, hospitalization, past erratic behaviors...and who knows what else. yes, I do ask my cousin "What did you see in her?" many times.
yup....way to win a custody battle!
okay, rant done!
