Does anyone else get nervous when they’re not in their classroom?
Does anyone else get nervous when someone is subbing for you in your classroom for the day or just for your lunch break? Whether it’s a regular or sometimes floater? And it’s not for lack of trust, you just have a certain routine and classroom maintenance?
*you try your best to talk to that person before you leave, if you have time.
I get scared I’m going to come back to toys everywhere, or just put wherever, dirty bibs and sippy cups still in the sink, iPad not updated, one of my kids didn’t get their paci or sleepsack for nap time, etc. I need to remind myself to take a deep breath, it’s not the end of the world and as long my kids are safe and happy, that’s all that matters 😅 and I can easily fix whatever needs fixing when I or my co teacher get back. It’s very frustrating, but it’s only because I know my kids, their needs and such.
But again… are they safe? In one piece? Cool 👍🏻
