WBT with 46 students

I'm thankful for having a great class this year. This morning my classroom had an additional class, the sub was late, with us for a little bit. As you can imagine most teachers would pull their hair out with 46 students in the room. They would imagine students running everywhere, or just not following the class procedures. Not me, I'm a champ!! I successfully made it through breakfast, attendance, and the start of a math lesson. Thankful my class is well "trained" in our WBT techniques, and it didn't take long for my colleagues class to catch on. We had the door open and everything. Other than the staff in the building that knew they were in my room, no one probably thought that many student's could be so quiet or so engaged in a math lesson about rows and columns. I would say that the other class was a bit surprised when I said "that's a mighty groan" and my class gave a quick sigh. I don't think they knew what to expect in my room. Yet they can always hear us through the wall. All 47 of us had a great start to the day!
