First day of subbing!

Well, I just completed my very first day of subbing! WHEWWWWwwww!!!!  I subbed for a 3rd grade class at Jones Elementary in Springdale.  They were so cute and sweet, but man, they LOVE when they have a sub!  I probably threatened to move their color to yellow at least 10 times.  It always seemed to work, but it was short-lived.  We did many activities such as learning to tell time, math problems, read-alouds, and telling-time bingo!  I think I read 7 books today, which is awesome!  I'm so glad we are including so much literacy in the classroom!  I can't remember reading that many books when I was in elementary school.  Best thing is....the kids LOVE reading!  All in all, I can say the day was a success!  Several of my kids drew pictures for me and wrote me the sweetest letters saying: "you are the best substitute I've ever had in my whole life;  you will make a great teacher;  I wish you were a real teacher; and thank you for everything."  These letters really made my day.  I love touching a child's life and this makes me know for certain that teaching is the job for me! :)
