Biggest Fear

Most teachers' biggest fear is returning to the classroom after being out for a day.  What will we see when we first open that door?  What note will the substitute have left?  What did and didn't get accomplished?  Is the place a mess, is there anything missing?

Fortunately, the substitute I had last Wednesday was seemingly competent.  Students did what they needed to do without too much trouble, and everything was pretty much where I left it on Tuesday afternoon.

I've got some remaining tests to grade from Tuesday, but otherwise I got all caught up today.  Just have to get through this week--and take next week off!
