http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7258 With graduation on the 10th of May, things are coming at a very fast pace! Which means summer is fast approaching. (Thank goodness!) I have signed up to substitute teach, and here's to hoping I get in!~ :) If so, I'll be able to get some extra money, and actually, I'll be able to take a break in July and August if all goes well.  I'll have to work at my current place of employment (Office Depot) until June or so.  Since year-round school is not in session during most of July and August, it would be a must needed (and deserved!) break for me.  I also have plans to go to Schlitterbahn with my family, and also to attend an anime convention in Dallas at the end of Mary 31.  It's called A-kon. What is everyone's plans for the upcoming summer? With graduation on the 10th of May, things are coming at a very fast pace! Which means summer is fast approaching. (Thank goodness!)

What is everyone's plans for the upcoming summer? en-us Sarah,  Substitute teaching is a great job and a wonderful experience. I did that a few years back with VISD. The best piece of advice I can give you is one that you probably already know: when you enter the classroom - take command. Don't be wishy-washing. Tell the students the assignment of the day, write it on the board and see that it is done. You'll have a better day that way. -Eric http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7258/#c_47055 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7258/#c_47055 Sarah,  Substitute teaching is a great job and a wonderful experience.
