11-10 7th AMS Crawford Science

Mr Crawford's science class is going to be on watersampling! The classes were a lab & of course I lectured. the classes did sampling of their virtual watersheds - for Nitrates, Salinity, & Tempature. The samples did not yeild any dramadic results - it would have been better to have real samples from different watersheds or streams. but, Mr Crawford's son is quite sick & it is understandable to not be able to do everything. Enjoyed class & hope to be back in mr crawford's class since I have an in with Mr. Norstand 8gr science & Math teachers see my value - could be a nice connection to AMS.
Mr James

11-9 Mrs Wolf Math

Mrs Wolf's classes are very well run - you can tell how a teacher runs her class by how the students act when a sub is there. Gave test all day - students have not really got it with some of the consepts. had seating chart & good plans.
Mr James

11-3 Allens Elem PE Ms henneman

Mad day of indoor Soccer! With this big very bouncy ball & about 15 kids who have little idea of what is going on other than they are trying to kick or head butt this very bouncey ball into a soccer net. Was like a street brawl. Blew the whistel alot!
Also had Kate (TA!) giving lecture on chewing tobacco. she will be back.
Mr James

11-2 Amesville Elem Crell Reading

hard class!! not because of students or Ms Crall's plans, but because of the program. Can not say that program works or does not work - but will say that the quick progression from one area to the next is one of main objections to education system as it stands now.
Mr James

11-1 TMS Mr Guffey Sp Ed

This was the day that I missed going to VJH because of calendar mix-up. Mr Guffey has some interesting SpEd. children - most seem interested - to some extent in learning. Attention span is very much a part of this group of children.
Mr James

10-31 VJH Bragg SpEd

Ms Bragg has a pretty good scheduleb- morning math with another teacher providing the matterial - Pm inclussion. helping these students get through the day without feeling left behind is a big help in their lives. She does have a student or two that are - if channeled properly - could be quite productive individuals.

10-30 Allens Elem PE ms henneman

Interesting for a teacher to be out all week & not leave more of what needs to be done. Don't get me wrong - i like being able to do what I want in these classes - but some ideas are always helpful. Did the 5 base kickball - of course I get to pitch for both sides!

10-27 Plains Elem Slattery 3rd

Well subing with a student teacher is interesting - they are wanting nothing more than to "be incharge". But there is this presence - namely me the sub also in the room. I try to give the student teacher the experence of being in charge - yet at times i can not resist the temptation to do something like "Teach"!

10-26 AMS Nostrant Science

Mr. Nostrant stopped me in grocery store to ask if I would sub. Yet Bill Nye the science guy really sub'ed.

10-25 VJH Mr White

mr white's class is a "special" SpEd class - quite a hand full!!

10-23 24, Allens Elem Ms.Foster

Foster's class

10-20 THS Art Ms. Cambell

TMS art classes are quite interesting.
