Just call me Coach Baxter...

So I'm subbing at an elementary school for a PE teacher the rest of
the week. Its a lot of fun! The kids have been great and it's been fun
to run around and shoot hoops and jump rope with the kids. We're doing
stations, so some kids Jump Rope for Heart, some play basketball, some
play hockey, and some rock climb. Man, I wish we had a rock climbing
wall in our elementary school!

I like working with the elementary kids- its a lot different from high
school. They're all very respectful and stay out of trouble for the
most part. They're not corrupted by society yet- they don't talk back,
and they do their work.

I got to work with special ed PE- like Erin does- it was fun. We
played with balls, I helped them climb the wall, and we scooted around
the floor on scooters! Then one kid came up and gave me a big hug-
they're really sweet.

I'm worn out! Ive been running around all day!

On another note, its snowing today! It started snowing after we got
here, so we still had classes.

After this week, I'm going to be a full time sub at a high school in
north Nashville. So, I'll be there for the rest of my time subbing. It
should be fun, and I can teach the kids subjects that most subs
probably wouldn't feel comfortable teaching- calculus, physics,
biology, etc. The school is also a school with low test scores, so
these kids need help academically.
