Week 12 Changed schedule!

Today we had a little bit different schedule because my MT had to leave early. She had a doctor's appointment, and the substitute teacher took over after lunch. In the morning, the class had to listen to Erin's Law Presentation. The presentation's content included safe and unsafe touch. The presentation started with a read-aloud. While reading, the presenter paused and discussed and used many examples to distinguish between safe and unsafe, comfortable and uncomfortable. The presentation was carefully crafted so that the students are exposed to many examples of safe touch. I like that the present stressed out that students can decide if they want to give a hug, kiss, or high five to strangers and family members, or people they know. After the presentation, the MT decided to move math to morning to instruct the math instead of the sub teacher.

This day showed me how to change a schedule when the teacher must leave early. My MT printed a plan for the sub with step-by-step instructions to know exactly what to do. Therefore, when the teacher must miss the school day or leave early, it is not just a phone call; the teacher must prepare the day and go over detailed directions with the person that will substitute. At the last minute, the students moved to the class next door instead of a sub. The teacher must be flexible and ready to have more than just one plan if she must miss or leave early.
