Story of the Day 11/8/2011

Yesterday, there was a substitute teacher for Sarah's two-period afternoon class.

Something was little " off", but it was hard to determine what it was.
Sarah's interpreter had some difficulty communicating with the substitute, but the interaction was very minimal, because Sarah's group was working on a project.
Today, The regularly scheduled teacher was back.
He pulled the interpreter aside and asked her an odd question. He wanted to know if the sub had slept during the afternoon class.
The interpreter was, understandably, surprised.

The teacher has two classes during the morning and , yesterday, the same sub covered both of those for him .
The students in the morning classes had reported to him that this sub put her head down on the desk and spent the class time sleeping.
He wanted to check with Sarah's interpreter, because, unlike his other classes where there are no other adults in the classroom, the interpreter is an adult, and a credible witness.

Sadly, she had nothing that she could tell him.She told him that , in all honesty, she wasn't sure because Sarah's group spent most of the time working in a different room on a video they are making.

His students in his morning classes must have realized that he didn't' think they were entirely credible, however, and , while they may not be, they were certainly creative.
Independently, students in each class decided to document the sub's naps by taking photos of her.

I am sure the photos are now available onYoutube, in case she wants to add them to her resume.
