A Difficult Work Day

Today I started working with my substitute Monica at Joan Miro and she’s a really pleasant woman so I’m looking forward to the next few weeks with her. We had an incident with the terrible third grade class when two of the boys started throwing punches and kicking each other in class but I wrangled into the middle of it yelling my head off and scooped the perpetrator out of there. The poor kid has a terrible home life and he just loses control sometimes. Certainly the challenges that I have sometimes are unexpected but I still feel passionate about teaching and working with children.
