Long-term Substitute position at Plaza Vista
Haven't updated in a long while.
For about one month from July to August, I have been a long-term substitute for the Resource Center at Plaza Vista in Irvine, CA (K-8 school). It was a great experience with its ups and downs, but I would be so honored to be able to sub here again.
Now this school is like no other school I have ever subbed at before. I have never ever seen as many rolling backpacks in my life--that is when I knew the atmosphere of this school concentrated on academics. Every student here is required to either join chorus or orchestra as their elective. There are all these students walking around with tubas, clarinets, etc. in the morning. (Note: One of the orchestra teachers has 70 students in one class sitting!!!). They also offer foreign language such as Spanish.
It is a great thing, a K-8 school. The population of the school is quite small. That way, all the teachers know the progress of every student there from kindergarten all the way through eighth grade.
