After the last two days at the middle school, today's assignment was in engineering and drafting at the high school. I walked down the hall to the office only to find out the classroom was the very first one where I entered the building—across the hall from the choir room where I started the day for a full week. This is the class where one of the seniors went everyday while I was subbing in choir.
I arrived in the workshop full of tables with computers and a lot of other equipment for building and experimenting, and the regular teacher was sitting at his desk. He informed me I was actually needed for only half a day because he had an appointment in the morning, but the request was put in for a full day sub and I would be paid for a full day.
This was an uneventful day. There were a few students who were in the shop for several periods, and everyone was working on something and/or chatting. One very cool feature of this classroom were the two 3D printers. This was my first time seeing 3D printers in person, and I got to watch a couple of objects being printed. Otherwise I was just there as an adult to monitor things. During two periods, the students also cranked up some music. The regular teacher came back before lunch period. I thought he had mentioned having somewhere else to go later, but he said I was free to go. I went to the office to see if I was needed somewhere else, but the secretary said she had just sent someone to cover the Distance Learning lab and she had no other need. That works for me!
