Mr. Pudsey rocks!

I was out of the classroom for a divisional Workplace Safety and Health meeting this afternoon (I'm the teacher representative for Radisson School), so that meant I needed to book a substitute teacher. I'm very lucky to have Mr. Pudsey be able to come into the classroom for me. Mr. Pudsey is a friend of mine, whom I met when we were both working towards our B.Ed. degrees at the University of Manitoba. When I'm out of the classroom, and he's in there for me, I know my students are in very capable hands. Mr. Pudsey does a great job with whatever I leave for him and the class, and if things have to change at the last minute, I know he can 'roll with it' without flinching. Not only is he very capable, but the students absolutely love him! In fact, when I told the class this morning that Mr. Pudsey was going to be in for me in the afternoon, they cheered, and told me that they liked me "100%", and that they liked Mr. Pudsey "100%". I'm glad he has such a high approval rating with them... because he's in our classroom again tomorrow!
