To continue my post from yesterday - I ended up sending an email to my principal. I very copacetically explained to him that there certainly needs to be protocol in regard to students with early release who wanted to get extra help. Especially since we discuss this in IEP meetings with parents and have presented this as a viable option for kids seeking additional assistance. I then said I certainly didn't think we'd want our protocol to be turning kids away from help. I didn't expect a response unless is was a scathing one, however, near the end of the day, I got something along the lines of, "I totally agree. I'll discuss this with the other two admins."
Today is Friday! Woot! It's been a pretty good week. My kids have been good. We're nearly finished with The Help. I don't have to teach today (movie day in science and history and in LA, I have the Transition person coming in to teach) so that's good. I do have a mandatory meeting this morning about "anxiety" which will be useless but whatever. It's Friday and the weekend is going to be spring like!
One negative about school: I thought the kids would ALL do really well on their history test yesterday but I was disappointed there. I had 2-3 kids fail! I mean WTF!? Obviously they didn't study! Oh well, what're you going to do?
I gave Jim the option tonight of going out, getting take out or me cooking. He couldn't make a decision so I said, "How about I pull a soup out of the freezer and we have that and grilled cheese?" That made him happy. He chose beef barley...yummy! I'll stop on the way home today and get some yummy bread and cheese.
I've done my elliptical for the past 4 days and feel so much better than I did a week ago. I'll take a break from it today and do some yoga instead...get some stretching in before Scout and I take our big walk Saturday.
And that's all I've got. Boo and Scout got me up extra early today so I think I'll blow dry my hair...since I've got extra time. Happy Friday! Happy Weekend! Later!
