Mother Hen

I rarely get to meet a teacher before I sub in his or her class, but it always makes me smile when I meet a teacher who gives me instructions for the day as if I am taking care of her own children.

Today's teacher gave us packets of work to do and page numbers on where to find the info if they needed help.

She went on to show me the white boards (yes, those covering the wall back there as well as another off to the side that you can't see) and said to feel free to write on them, and take own the posters if we needed more room.

Nobody but a worried mother would give those kind of just-in-case instructions when she hadn't given us board work to do in the first place.
