One Class Sub

I subbed for a high school chemistry teacher today. It wasn't as hard as you would think. MCA uses a block schedule, so I only had one class from 1:30-2:50pm. Six students were in class and it was a review day. Their teacher had scheduled an email to send to her students before class with links to their review Kahoots. I did a couple of the Kahoots, just to see how much of my chemistry I remembered... I'm a little rusty! 😅 The students did well though! 

Fun fact, their teacher married one of my former students! He recognized my name when she sent me an email with instructions for the day, so she mentioned that in her email- "P.S. My husband asked why I was emailing you because apparently you taught him at Immanuel when he was in 2nd grade or something?? You are a saint because I know he was an awful child."

It was actually in 5-6th grade (and 7-8th), and while he was mischievous, I never thought him awful. Actually, his class was probably my favorite class of students I've ever taught. Or maybe time is making my memory rosy. 😂They were so eager to learn. I remember them asking to turn the lights off, shut the shades, and sit on beanbags in front of the classroom so it would feel like a movie theater when we did science and social studies. 

One memory of this particular student was when my college biology professor came to Immanuel to do a forest biology lesson. We searched for and collected spiders in the woods. This student convinced his classmates to pay him to eat a bug (or spider? I can't remember). Anyway, one of his classmates took him up on it and he ate the bug in the woods.
