Substitute teacher drill

Yesterday morning our principal explained that we need to be prepared for any emergencies that might happen, including all the teachers going to the same restaurant and getting sick. So, we had a surprise substitute teacher drill, which meant that all the teachers switched classes and taught another class. This was a drill for the students to understand that they need to be respectful of any teacher who comes into the classroom... including subs. However, it was more of a drill for the teachers who need to be prepared with plans and information for a substitute teacher to come in and teach.
I taught second grade, which I enjoyed a lot. They were a fun group to teach. Later on, a fourth grader came up to me and said, "If we switch teachers again, I want you to be my teacher." I have no idea what made him think that I would be a teacher he would like to have, because I think I have talked to him once. Anyways, this was an interesting experience that I have never heard of happening before.

Today, one of my students wrote me a note that asked me why I don't want to come back to teach. I have never told them that I don't want to come back, but I know it is very unlikely that I will.
Later today, I ate lunch with a korean girl that I have sang with on Sunday mornings. We have not had much of a chance to talk much, but it was encouraging to talk with her and share in some fellowship. She then gave me a small gift, which was very touching and heart-warming.
