Sam has three district observations this year and his first one was this past week with his friend Helen. They had their pre-observation meeting on Monday, the observation was on Wednesday and his post-observation meeting was on Friday. He came home Wednesday just bummed saying it was his worst teaching ever - he even made the embarrassing mistake of writing "boob" on the white board rather than "book". So he really wasn't looking forward to meeting with Helen on Friday.
Fast forward to Friday and so many teachers were out sick that they had to cancel all art classes so the art substitute could teach in a grade level classroom. Who had art? Sam. But during his art time, he had his meeting with Helen. Helen brings a sub with her, also a friend of Sam's, Bev. That meant that Bev had to teach art for Sam's class. Sam actually had an art project that he needed done on Friday - he was working with his students on a surprise Christmas gift for their families and he had no idea when he would find time during the day to do it. All of a sudden, he didn't have to find time. Bev could do it during Sam's art time!
Sam came home all smiles because once again, he got out of teaching art! I honestly think in almost twenty-five years of teaching, he hasn't taught art yet! He also got an excellent review from Helen along with a smile for the "book" mistake. And the kids got their art project done so that I can come in tomorrow and help them finish up! Yay, God!
