Days off

So how does a teacher spend her first personal day? This one spent her's spending way to much money and running around town with her best friend!! I will admit I did check my school email, did stop by school for something, and even went to the teacher store. I also have been entering IEP data and soon will be back to the grind stone on alternative assessment. Maybe tomorrow I will actually not think about school for an entire 24 hours, maybe...

Getting Closer!

I am slowly crossing off the items on my long to do list, as I also seem to keep adding to it at the same time. Alternative assessment has been given and entered. Just need to sort and enter on the computer!! I am taking my two personal days tomorrow and Friday, but first need to prepare the two days worth of stuff for the sub.

Bowling

So I took my class bowling today. It was a community mobility trip. And we went with another class. But still, I took my class bowling, a huge undertaking in itself. It went very well. And the day as a whole went very well too. Tomorrow is Friday!! Always a good thing!

Testing for alternative assessment is almost, kind of done. And they extended the deadline so that is always nice.

I have just a few IEPs to write, only a couple overdue. Oops. Well I guess a couple overdue a year is not terrible.

Beginning to really enjoy the kids. Starting to miss them and they are not even gone yet. Not even close. Its weird I guess.

Ice and good day

What a day. Due to a variety of reasons, I only had 2/3 of my class today. The buses were 45 minutes to an hour late this morning and took an extra 15 - 30 minutes to come this afternoon. I had two students for a while, and that was only because their mothers had brought both of them in due to the bus situation. I was able to get alot done today and feel good about today! To bad everyday can't be like that...

...the start of a good idea

So after a nice conversation with a mom on Friday after school, I have decided that a wheelchair ramp needs to be built for one awesome girl! A girl whom always has a smile on her face and does not let her multiple disabilities/health concerns get in her way. I happen to know her through both of my jobs and she put a smile on my face more than once! This plan of mine is only in the stage that includes me thinking about it a lot and beginning to plan how I am going to make it happen...with basically no construction skills...and personally very little funding.

I think this is were I decide I need help!
Needed:
People with knowledge of how to build a secure ramp.
People with the muscle power to build it. I was thinking frat boys, Boy Scouts, or just overall nice people, but really anyone will do :-).
Materials
Funding
And one nice day with decent weather to make this all happen.
