So, this week at school is grad exam week. It is particularly boring because all we do is either sit in the gym or watch students take tests ( Read more... )

William will be 12 years old tomorrow. He's not having a party, but he's taking a bunch of cupcakes to share with Sunday School. The cool thing though was the way I put the cupcakes together for him ( Read more... )

Okay, I am slacking once again. That may be because I spent the last two evenings focusing on homework instead of playing and updating. I have to finish a powerpoint tonight and send it back to my fellow presenter who is crazy worried it won't get done in time. Tis hilarious to have someone who finishes quickly paired with the master ( Read more... )

Being a cooperating teacher for an intern is hard work. My first block is putting him through hell and I don't know how to make it better for him. I just do what I have to do. I'm not the perfect classroom manager, but I have a relationship with my students that allows me to get to them on that individual level as necessary. I have heard the ( Read more... )

I am such a procrastinator. I just finished my paper on National Math Standards. Don't know whether I have done what the professor asks.

And while I've been reading through you all's information, I rarely take the time update myself. Of course we can blame this on full time work, school and children, but that would be a lie. The truth is I am addicted to Farmtown, Farmville, etc. so they take up most of my online time and cause me to be a crazy procrastinator for my real life ( Read more... )

Let's see where to begin. There has been a lot of drama with William at school. Let's just say the middle school is not reacting well to his disability needs. To the point that they had him arrested and we actually have to go meet with the court intake officer tomorrow afternoon. Needless to say I am not a happy camper. We are seriously ( Read more... )

William had a really bad day yesterday. A girl called him gay and he exploded and in order to get away from her told her he was going to kill her. He learned in elementary school that school officials will immediately remove you from whatever you don't want to do or whoever you don't want to be around if you make a threat ( Read more... )
