· Today Mrs. D had to attend a conference for all 5th grade teachers in the area at 1. Therefore, after lunch a substitute would be present. Mrs. D asked me to do the read aloud and present a lesson about almanacs and read some important facts from both of them. The students were well-behaved for me but I think that is because they know me and I am use to them and their routines. They sort of have free rains in the class room and if they have to go to the bathroom, they just go and sign out on the board. The same thing is for getting a drink, sharpening their pencil, getting a Kleenex and other duties. The substitute had a problem with this and when someone got up to sharpen their pencil during the read aloud, she got extremely upset. Also, she got very upset with my case student because she constantly blurts out questions, which they are intelligent ones. She almost kicked her out of the room, but in an ordinary day Mrs.D tolerates it and is use to it. The case student asks intelligent questions about what is coming next, and kind of ruins it for everyone in the class and that substitute got really upset by that. The substitute then taught science, and was told to teach the vocabulary words for this science lesson. We were running out of time and she went really fast and the students could not keep up. Another student in the classroom just moved to the class from Kenya a couple of years ago. She is an ELL student and struggles a lot when it comes to reading and writing. I had to help her write down the vocabulary words because she could not keep up with the substitute.
