Just Teach Them Something.

By Grace today. School Administrator/teach for 4,5,6th grade was out. So, when the students finished the assignment they had been given, I was told by the 1,2,3rd grade teacher, "Just teach them something. Math, English, anything." Shoot. Just teach? Well, I thought to teach math, but soon realized that not only were there a combination of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade math students in the class, but even the ones in the same level were not on the same page of the book. So, when I asked the 6th graders which page they were on, one said "The three of us are on page 17." but then someone else piped in, "Well, I'm only on page 6!" and others, "We're on page 20." So, I just said, "Well there's now way I can teach you a math lesson if you're all on different pages, just just work the problems where you left off last time and ask questions if you need help."
