shes having a baby

I'm going in at noon today to sub for a friend who is having a baby. I will be taking over her class in February for six to eight weeks while she is at home with it. This will be a good opportunity today to see if her kids know how to behave. Generally, I love second graders, they know just enough about school to make it easy!

maternity leave

I'm not working quite as much, the reason is that I accepted a six week subbing assignment next spring, April 12 to be exact. I will be taking over for a sweet kindergarten teacher who is having her first baby that day. Who knows, it may even come a bit early.
I am only allowed to sub a specific number of days as going over that number will mess up my "teacher retirement." I certainly don't want to do that!
