Supplying #18-20

Supplying is like being a utility baseball player. Like Manny Lee or Rance Mullinks (for those who know the Jays of yesteryear). For the past three days I've been switched in emergency situations. I've gotten to teach Gym, Gr. 7, Gr. 6, and French in a pinch. I'm really not the kind of person to teach anyone French. I once got 1.5/20 on a French test. That was back when I was in Gr. 7 or 8. I'll tell you a bit more about my French teaching experience: While I had kids working on their menu/recipe projects, I read to them from the book Holes. I spoke in a quiet and cryptic Clint Eastwood voice for Mr. Sir and a bubbly Mr. Pederman voice for Mom (Mr. Pederman was Elaine's boss - and one of my favourite recurring characters - on Seinfeld).
