Hello All,
Well to catch you up from the last post, nothing has changed. He is still in my class and no one seems to have put any stock in her allegations. So, another day in paradise.
We are on our second round of the bug going around. 1/2 of the class is coughing and has running noses. I soooooooo love this time of year. I am hoping that the one go around with it that I had is enough. Keep you fingers crosses.
This year is flying by. There seems to be so much more that I want to get done and don't have enough time. Oh well, like I tell the kids you tackle big projects the same way you eat an elephant. One bite at a time.
Then as if life was not busy enough, Sharon has been told that she must take the CSET, even though her credential program waived it. So I have decided to take it with her and OMG is there a lot of information that I have forgotten. Should be amusing and I will keep you posted. Take care of yourselves and BE GOOD HUMANS!

Life Happens
Wow....today I was smacked in the face by the evil and viciousness of some people. I started my day off by chatting with South Gate P.D......ok let me back up a bit. I have a student who is very non-verbal and struggles to form even the most basic of sentences. This same child supposedly told his mother that after he hit me during a melt-down I hit him back.
Now anyone who knows me knows that these kids are my life and that I would never jeopardize myself or my career by doing something that foolish. Luckily, the cop saw through the mom and basically said that I was going to sound like the shinning star in his report.
At first, I was amused by it all, but as the day wore on I became more and more angry.. Does she not realize how serious of a charge this is and did it no occur to her to talk to me or the other aides in the class first????I guess this served as a wake up call that not everyone is decent in this world and regardless of how you try to help them, they can still turn and stab you in the back.
I wanted to share this with everyone to show that even the best intentions don't guarantee smooth sailing. I am going to try and let this go, but I am sure its going to be a long 105 days left of school, before he changes schools.

Happy New Year!
Hello Everyone,
We are back and its the start of a new year. The boys, (yes I have all boys) are back and they are doing ok considering they have been at home for three weeks. I have to admit though I am looking forward to the three day weekend this week. They are a bit wired and unruly...it usually takes about three weeks to get them retrained.
My new guy is doing great. I have him going to a general education class for language arts and he is doing great according to the teacher. He blends right in....talk talk talk!
I asked for unused computers on Facebook over the holiday and received 4. YEAAAA. The down side of that is that I can't get two of them to work so we have to wait for our IT guy to set them up. UGGGGHH We are upstairs, no elevator, and he does not like to climb stairs so lord knows when he will get up here. Oh well such is life in public education.
Well, I am off to work. More to follow sooner. I wish everyone a happy new year and stay tuned for more exciting news from the room.
