A Breakthrough!!!

I actually slept through the night last night!!! I can't believe it. I haven't been able to do that in about 2 weeks. Of course, I woke up exhausted and could barely open my eyes but I'm awake now and, okay, I'm still exhausted but at least it's Friday.

So, the first week is over. After today, only 174 more days to go. Ooh, that's not a good idea. Too many days will get me depressed.

Well, I'm finally making some headway on my paperwork which is good since I have IEP's week after next. I'll be able to get my 8 IEP's done in 3 days which is good and I will only have to worry about 1 student before the spring after that. I'll be happy when next week is over though so I can focus more on my classes.

My co-teaching classes sort of suck. I like the two teachers I'm teaching with but they just don't understand what co-teaching is so they don't get that the plans they make for their classes are supposed to include me. Of course right now we aren't even doing anything having to do with history. And next week will be spent on study skills. See, HH feels that this class, since it's team taught and co-taught should also focus on teaching the kids study skills. So, I was able to contribute some assistance there by giving a "learning inventory" to give to the kids (so they understand how they learn and how they should study). Anyway, we'll work it out, I'm not worried and I am certainly not complaining - so to speak. I would never say anything to HH or FW. I try and say as little to either of them as possible. And, it's not my job to train people on how to co-teach.

Okay, It's only 5:30 but I need to get going so I can get gas and maybe get some work done. I just need for everyone to ignore me this morning because lately I'm so distracted that I can't get a dern thing done and those dang kids just keep showing up for school!!! Crap!!!
