Trial By Fire


Today is a kind of trial by fire: my first day ever substitute teaching (for grades 1-3). It’s been 57 years since I spent time in elementary school. I don’t remember this stuff. I couldn’t sleep much, in anticipation. The hardest thing so far is first-grade math. It confuses me; it confuses them, but we’re working through it. Fortunately there is a teaching assistant who knows all the things I don’t.
