I realized today that I haven't posted in a long time and I only read anyone else's posts when I have a staff meeting.  So....here I am...waiting for my staff meeting to begin and I'm posting.  Things never change!  I'll guess I'll do an upday for 30 minutes.

School's going really well.  My co-teacher and I get along great.  We just took out kids to ( Read more... )

I have stuff I really should be doing--but I'm not.  Honestly, I really am busy at work.  It's just that after school I've lost all desire to keep working for another hour.  I almost wish that the kids would stay just an hour longer.  That way I wouldn't sit here bored to tears after school every day.  I'm just too tired to think, and none of the ( Read more... )

 I'm sitting at work and it was such a long day, even though the kids left at 1:00 this afternoon, that I just don't feel like doing anything.  My kids were crazy today! I used to think the whole "full moon" thing was bogus, not today!  Anyway, other than having a long tough day today, I love it here.  I can't remember if I've posted anything about ( Read more... )

I knew that my position that I have now was going to be temporary, and I was never really fond of it, but how messed up is this?  One of my schools was approved for another full time special ed teacher position.  When I heard that I though, "great, I can be at one school now!"  Here's were it gets messed up.  The wonderful Jefferson County school ( Read more... )

Conferences were last night so I didn't get home until 9:00 and had to be in early this morning for a staff meeting at the other school.  Thank goodness we have Friday off.

I got my first group this morning and they were really well behaved and working really hard.  I thought to myself, "wow! this is going to be a great dat!" WRONG! Since I don't ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, the second half of the school year sucks! As if I don't already see too many kids for the time I'm at Foster, but now I have 4 and possibly 5 new kids that are being referred to special ed that I have to test and do all kids of paperwork for.  I was observed the other day by this reading supervisor and he pretty much made me feel ( Read more... )

I went outside this morning to shovel the big pile of snow left in front in the street in front of the driveway completely ignored by the multiple snow plows last night.  I was already sore as heck and the thought of moving a snow pile taller than me didn't make me fee better.  I worked on it for about 30 minutes, alternating between that and where ( Read more... )

I went outside to try to shovel some snow out of the way.  I think the old metal shovel my mom has weighed more than the snow.  Anyway, I got tired, came in and took a nap.  When I went out again the neighbor across the street had shoveled our driveway.  Too bad it didn't end there.  My mom's neighbor then brought up a good point.  My car was the ( Read more... )

How many years has it been since I had a snow day when I was in school? And now that I'm teaching I'm just as excited to have a snow day, except that now I know if the schools didn't plan for one (and no one does anymore) we may have to stay a day or two in the summer, depending on how bad this storm gets.  That's okay, by then there's not much ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I last posted.  I've been real busy lately.  School's going alright.  It's just not where I want to be.  I don't like being between two schools.  It's not only hard and there's twice as much work, but I don't really belong to either school.  If I was at one school all day I'd know all of the teachers and the staff.  I still ( Read more... )
