Given that I was not 100%. I kept the same routines and lesson I had planned before I felt ill. I was so excited to see how students were hungry for learning. It turns out kids do like structure.

4/ I recently fall ill and have miss 5 days of work. I’ve heard students wanting to seat out of their assigned seat and some aren’t doing the work I assigned while with the sub. I am coming back tomorrow and I feel like I will have to go back to square 1. 😩 what do you think I should do tomorrow?

3/every so often some students try to push boundaries, but they are starting to read the culture of the classroom and I have been diligently not letting them change the tone of class. It hasn’t been easy but I’ve been consistent.

2/ students are up to speed, completing their do now routine, checking and correcting homework, how to take notes in math, know the transitions from guided to independent practice. It isn’t perfect everyday.
