Substitute

I was supposed to teach my lesson on Thursday, but when I walked in there was a substitute teacher there. it was an interesting day to say the least, because right before the kids were to switch classes the power went out. The kids began screaming and they ran out the door! I was glad that the special ed teacher was coming into the classroom, because she had them all walk right back into the room. We were told to stay in our rooms, and the students basically had free time to talk amongst themselves. The substitute then became sick, and had to leave which left the special ed teacher as the sub for the day. After the lights came back on, three special ed teachers took over per class, as there was no substitute teacher available for the class. We mostly followed what my cooperating teacher had left, which was an assignment they had started working on earlier that week when I was there, so it was good to know what they were supposed to do. The kids did try to do everything they could to the substitute teacher, but I am glad the special ed teachers were there, because they kept the room working and calmed since the students know who the special ed teachers are. I get to do my lesson now to just one class instead of two, when we get back, which makes me sad.
