Timer

Today I had to substitute again.  I like the class - for the most part (although it is still difficult to be away from my class).  The last time I subbed for them, they were perfect until it was time to line up for anything.  To combat this problem, I pulled up the timer on my phone.  Each time the students had trouble, I turned the timer on.  We stood on the wall at recess for 1 minute 8 seconds.  This was a huge improvement from the last time where we wasted what felt like 15 minutes lining up.  I was very pleased at the improvement.  Too bad the rest of the behavior was an issue!  That is something I will have to deal with next week when I sub for them again.
