  • Really Rough Day

    Work started out ok today.  All three students were in.  One student was a little upset for the first hour.  She's upset because this is not the routine.  It's difficult for my students when the routine changes.  It's hard when we had a few days off let alone a week and a half.

    The day went fine.  Everyone was doing well and working hard.  It was great.  Each student did great work.  Some days we can't focus and don't get work done.  It was nice that working was so easy.  It helped that no one was walking thru our room today.  One of the students' parents called and said she'ld pick up her child.  Yesterday the sped admin told me that parent might have moved out of district.  The nurse spoke with the parent when she called and found out that it was true they had moved out of district.  The sped admin came to the classroom again to speak with the parent when she arrived.  Well it turns out that since the family is out of district, we can no longer service the student and tomorrow will be her last day. 

    I'm so upset.  This really sux!  This student has such a difficult life as it is.  Our school is the only place where she has routine and is safe.  She has come so far this year!  We have worked so hard and done so much!  I don't want her to lose any of the skills she has gained this year.  I spoke with the mom and told her I was willing to work with her privately.  I hope and pray that she decides to do that.  I want to keep working with her and helping her.  I'm so worried!!

    Plus, it is going to my aide's last day tomorrow too!  Ahhh!  What am I going to do?  The admin came in yesterday and today.  Yesterday she noticed that my aide's son was in the room.  She stated that the son can't be there.  When the admin came in again today, my aide spoke with the admin hoping that she could keep bringing her son in.  The admin said it was impossible for the son to be in the classroom.  My aide said that she can't work if her son can't come in too.  So it's my aide's last day tomorrow too.

    Next week is going to be so horrible!  Ahh!  I'm so mad!  I can't believe all this is happening!  What am I going to do?  I hope that tomorrow really isn't my aide's last day, I hope that she is able to work something out.  But the chances of that are >1%.  I'm so upset!

  • First day of work

    July 1st - first day of summer program

    School/work went well.  The head of special education in Quincy stopped by.  That was a surprise.  She told me that one of the students might be living somewhere else and therefore should not be in our system.  So now I'm a little worried.  I hope that isn't true.  This is one of my favorite students and she has had such a rough year.  She has had a rough life and she's only 10.  She has come such a long way and progressed so much this year!  I don't wanna lose her now.  Next year was going to be her last year anyway.  I hope that she is able to stay here, at least for one more year.

    It's really nice getting out at 12!  I got home at 12:44 and ate lunch and now I can just chill.  I wish the weather was nicer!  It was pouring when I was driving home.  I need to start packing things up.  We are supposed to have our closing next wed.  So exciting!  One week from tomorrow!  Wow!  That was quick.  I'm still nervous thou.  I was on the phone for like an hour last week about my student loans and everything.  I can't wait to be all finished with this closing and have everything signed.  Then we get to start painting and then move in and then PARTY!  LoL!

    I really want to have like a house warming party when we get in there.  I was thinking of having it in like August.  I can't have it too late thou b/c I would like to invite some of my friends who'll be in college.  I want to invite all my work peoples to a bbq at my house.  I dunno if I should combine parties or what.  Have a family party and then a friends party?  I dunno.  I'm not too crazy about being hostess.  I never know what to do.  I want to make sure that everyone has fun and I feel like I never get to sit and have fun.  Ya know?  I'll have to try to have a new yorkers' weekend.  Well we'll have to see.  We have like no dishware or seating or anything really.  It would be fine if it were a nice day thou.  The yard is big and it's plenty of room for people.  First we need the house then we need to paint and then we'll think about the party.
