If message chair and alcohol drink vending machines are not on the vendor list I just don't know if you can continue to work there... I mean as a professional you must have standards.

Well absolutely, low bid is just fine. It is public education and all!

BK have a great day!

Wednesday is meeting day. I have an 8:30, 11:30 and 3:30 meetings today. And this is a light load on meetings. Rolling eyes.

Well I've been checking progress on the students I work with. They are sailing along! Making gains. One more data point and the graphs will be fun to show them. Even with 2 data points they are going to start to make sense of them. The progress monitoring makes so much sense to them once they can see the graphs. We've been using example graphs to share the idea... but as 2nd graders they relate better to their own. I love this part of being a special education teacher. Talking about their brains, their strategies, their strengths and how to ask questions for their learning.

I also spent an hour with the unified arts teachers (music, art, library, pe, technology) updating them on students I case manage and accommodations. I do believe they left with a better appreciation of the students as people. They seemed to have a handle on what works for them and individual students in there classes. I heard lots of ideas from them about the kids. Now that was awesome!

Today...a day for me...for the first time ever I come first - I am important today...none of this matters for today!

Chancie · 10-04-2012, 05:07 AM

Yesterday was my first day coming and going in the dark, ugh.

I was at school for almost 12 hours, but I felt like I had no choice because

I had a lot to prepare for today's class, and

I had grades to enter for progress reports.

I'm not sorry that I caught up, and it's going to be like this, at least this year.

As long as I get to aquasize most of the time, I think I'll be okay.

Yes..approved vendor a must. Now just have to ensure it's an allowable expense!
