3rd Grade

This will be my first time subbing in a 3rd grade class. I like 3rd grade. It’s that age that most teachers want. They don’t need to be babied so much, but they aren’t complete asses yet.

The classroom teacher, KL, gave me a call this evening while I was at the supermarket. I was on the phone when she called and so waited to come home to call her back. I’m glad I did. In the voicemail she left me she said that there was something that was too difficult to write down and she could explain them better over the phone. Once she did tell me about it, it wasn’t all that complicated. The class is having a debate, per se, and each side needs to finish their posters so that by Monday they can present. THAT doesn’t sound complicated.

The class is small, 16 students. Wow. They switch twice during the day, for ELD and for Reading. Not a problem for me.

I was going to make some photocopies of some activities for the kids if we have extra time, but I figure I’ll take them out to play OR just let them do something creative instead. Give them extra time to work on their posters, etc.

November has been a slow month thus far, but tomorrow is pay day for October. I’m really excited to get a paycheck! A nice one! It will be such a relief for my bank account and my credit cards and my brain.

Maybe an update on how it goes tomorrow.

One?

One day? Nope! I just got a call from another teacher at Lim school – she needs a Sub for tomorrow cause she is damn sick. Trust me, she is. She sounded like she was 80 years old she’s so sick! Luckily she thought ahead of time and made plans for a sub before leaving work today.

That makes me feel better.

Fucktards. So I have access to the hours that I will be paid for in a time period, right? so I went and checked and saw that I have 35 hours, which okay. BUT the first 6 days that I worked at L school? Not on there. So the SSA or SAA or whatever she is has NOT submitted my hours/days for payment. Today was the deadline! So I’m only getting those 35 hours. Or 5 (6 hour) days and 1 five-hour day. So my big ass check isn’t going to be so big ass anymore. It’s going to be $865 for those 5 days and then $144 for the 1 day. A total of just over $1,000. BUT that’s before taxes. So maybe $900? Not sure. While it SHOULD have been $2,047. So I’m a bit pissed off right now. tomorrow during a break I’ll call Iv (the person at L school in charge of it) and see if she’s going to get this done. Now, I should have checked days ago and made sure it was in for this paycheck, BUT I couldn’t log on and couldn’t find ANYTHING. So I decided to try again now – and I id find it, thank goodness.

Buck Fuck! I want my money!

This is going to be cross posted in my other blog.

Good week coming up.

It was good – as far as how many hours I will be working. 15 hours to be exact. But more can be added during the week. Four hours Monday and Tuesday, three hours on Wednesday, and 2 hours each on Thursday and Friday.

I’ll be working with a new student (to me). The brother of one of the students I’ve already worked with. From what I can see, though, this is also a SpEd student. But haven’t seen him be disruptive or whatnot. So it might work out just fine.

I decided to keep my schedule (including who I work with) on my iCal so that I know how many hours I work and how many hours I should be paid for. The schedules will be changing next week because LAUSD will be starting. The location hours will change from opening at 9am, to opening at 11am. That will be nice because I won’t have to get up early :) I can wake up at my own pace. Not sure if I’ll be working in the evenings, etc.

I imagine that I will get more hours once the school year starts, but I can’t be sure. So Friday will give me a better idea of what it will be like. If not I will ask if I can work at another location so that I can get more hours and make more money!
