Scavenger

I was teaching a second grade class yesterday when I was told that the school received word that the teacher I was covering for just had to have her appendix removed. In addition to this, she was going to be away for the last week of the term anyway, since she will be getting married. Imagine having your appendix out 2 1/2 weeks before you're supposed to get married! Anyway, due to her misfortune, it is my fortune to be placed on the same class for the next 2 1/2 weeks. I haven't had the same group of kids for such a stretch of time in about 3 years, so it might actually be nice to have some semblance of normalcy in my work for a little while.
