A substitute teacher once brought in a box of old - fashioned teaching aids like abacuses and slide rules. He was so excited to show them to us, thinking we'd never seen such things. But we were all just amused by how ancient these items seemed. He went on to give a whole lecture about how they used to be used in school, and his enthusiasm made it a really funny and unique experience.
There was this substitute teacher in a middle school. The students were very noisy when he arrived. He noticed that there were a lot of musical instruments in the corner of the classroom. So he started a music session. He let the students play the instruments freely at first and then organized them into a small band. They spent the whole class making music and having fun. It was a unique substitute teaching day.
I know a story where a substitute teacher walked into a science class that was supposed to have a lab session but the regular teacher hadn't prepared the materials. Instead of canceling the lab, the substitute teacher quickly improvised. He used things from around the classroom like pencils and paper clips to create simple physics experiments. The students had a blast learning through these improvised experiments and it was a very memorable class.
A substitute teacher in our science class once. He showed us a really cool experiment that wasn't in the textbook. It involved making a mini - volcano. He made the whole process so exciting and explained the science behind it clearly. We were all on the edge of our seats.
One memorable story was when a teacher mispronounced a really common word while reading aloud. The students were all shocked at first and then started laughing uncontrollably. The teacher was confused at first but then joined in the laughter when they told him what he'd done.
A friend told me about a substitute who punished the whole class for not having the right textbooks. But it was the school's fault as they hadn't distributed them yet. That was really mean.
There was a substitute teacher's story about a class that was known for being rowdy. When he entered, he expected chaos. But he started the class with a magic trick. The students were so amazed that they were quiet for the rest of the class. He then used magic - related analogies to teach various concepts throughout the day, and it turned out to be one of the most well - behaved and productive classes he had ever taught.
A math teacher I had would always trip over the power cords in the classroom. One day, while trying to avoid it, he ended up bumping into the whiteboard. He just laughed it off and said, 'That's my new way of interacting with the board.'
A teacher once told a parent that their child was always trying to teach the other kids yoga poses during recess. The parent said, 'Oh, that's because we are a yoga - loving family. I guess he wants to share the fun.'
My chemistry teacher was known for his unique demonstrations. One day, he was showing how different metals react with acids. He used a piece of zinc and when the reaction started, he made a big show of 'listening' to the fizzing sound. He said, 'The zinc is talking to us, it's saying, 'I'm having a great time in this acid bath!'. His enthusiasm and humor made the class really engaging.
There was a music teacher who had a really unique way of teaching rhythm. He would make all the students stand up and march around the classroom like soldiers while chanting the beats. One day, a student accidentally tripped and knocked over a few chairs. Instead of getting angry, the teacher incorporated it into the rhythm, saying it was a new kind of 'accidental percussion'. It was so funny and we all had a great time.
