Five, Five, Five weeks of school

Well, last Friday my teacher informed me that this week would be a "normal" week.  WRONG!!! It has been anything but normal.  Monday went fine.  Everything went well, all students were present, all interpreters were present, all equipment was working, and no meeting were in session.  Tuesday started to spiral...an interpreter was absent.  When you only have 2 interpreters with 2 kids that need them in 2 different classrooms it makes for a hairy situation.  Following Tuesday's chaos was Wednesday and Thursday! We have had to do some serious moving around this week due to meeting, staffing, and absences.  Tomorrow is Friday and I can't wait!  Hopefully, it will be "normal".  On the brighter side I got to attend my first annual review IEP meeting.  Let's just say it was a get in, get out, and be done situation.  It was exciting to be there.  After, leaving it I felt like the parent was buying a car or a house because of all the paper work and repetition of information.  I can't wait until I get to go to another.

  1. Megan,

    Could you explain a little in terms of "I felt like the parent was buying a car or a house"? Why do you feel this way? :)

    YW

  2. I am beginning to think there are no normal days or weeks! It seems to me like there is always some reason why things don't go the way they are supposed to go on paper. I do feel like I am getting a lot of practice in rearranging lessons and altering them to fit in half the time I had planned! Hope next week goes better!
