It’s Monday. And what’s Monday without it being chaos. The kids were pretty good but V really struggled today with his emotions. I can’t figure out if he is wanting what other students want to seek attention or if he truly needs something. I left for a field trip today. It was overall a decentContinue reading “Blah”

Woah a Saturday post? Well today I got to take my ID Teacher hat off and be just a chaperone. We brought 12 students from the HS to work concessions for the football game. Tons of laughs. Tons of fun. We hit the road at a solid 5am and won’t be home til at leastContinue reading “Badger Win”

Two students absent means the day is some how easier. A and Z were absent. However again a successful gym class. Another successful math class. B took a turn after that causing some drama but pulled it around after lunch. I keep thinking of the lesson from Monday that I taught about soft skills andContinue reading “Hump Day”

Illness is hitting full force over here. Kids are already dropping like flies and we are only 10 days in. Is this any indication how this year will go? Let’s hope not. Overall another decent day. I have started on Tuesday and Thursday to have 20 minutes of reading and a writing prompt. I thinkContinue reading “Talk About It Tuesday”

Gym started off fabulous and continued great with a lot of student engagement! A needed to leave about 1/2 way through becauseContinue reading “Too Much Monday…Not Enough Diet Coke”

I survived…a full moon…Friday the 13th…Freshmen Biology….&&Home football game supervision. Nothing like a 16 hour day to start the weekend. Nothing real exciting for a Friday, we wrote our weekly letter home, made stir fry and played with the x-large parachute for gym. The only rough part of the day was trying to decide howContinue reading “TGIF”

Have you ever went through the day and didn’t know what day of the week it really was? That was 100% me today. At one point I thought it was Friday and then the next I thought it was flipping Wednesday. This led to me showing up late to my own meeting and being lateContinue reading “It’s Thursday?”

We are officially back to the school grind and have successfully made it through 7 full school days. What have I learned this far? Well, some students behaviors never change, especially those who aren’t being medicated 100% of the time. Another thing I have learned is that there are some that grow over the summerContinue reading “Back to the Grind”
