I've been busy as a sub this year. I could probably work every day if I wanted to (for the record, I do not want to). I usually work two days a week, but often get texts or emails from the school secretaries, principal or teachers asking me to do more. Sometimes I pick up another day, but I'm also getting good at saying no.
I've subbed in Ali and Logan's band class several times, and one time I subbed in Jake's class. The reactions to their mom being their teacher differed a bit: it was Jake's Best Day Ever, and he was SO excited to have me there. I felt like I needed to ask Ali and Logan if it was okay with them if I subbed in their class before I did so. They said, yes, as long as I didn't embarrass them! Haha. They even admitted to their peers that I was their mom, and some of their friends told them they liked having me as a sub, so I feel pretty special.

Ask any teacher...a good sub IS special...but if your kids are ok to have you as their sub, then you are doing great!! I love that you remembered to take a pictures.
I subbed in my kids classes in jr hi and high school. It was actually an advantage...other kids were more cooperative when they knew my kids. Rod actually taught David and his own brother as a teacher....no real problems.
It's so hard to find workers, I can imagine how much they need your help...hold to your limits though.
