Congratulations! I loved my para job, and it led to a long term sub job so you never know!!
I have subbed for several years but last year was the first year I was certified. I did sub at one school frequently, and when they had a para...
Thank you notes are never goofy. I think it's up to you. Probably not expected but it won't hurt. (IMO)

I bought some clogs by Sanita, expensive but worth every penny. I have no foot pain when I sub even though I am overweight. I got mine at a...
As a certified teacher who is subbing until I get a full time job, I will give you my opinion. I will follow the sub plans to the letter....
