Conferences
Have conferenced with all but 2 parents! My high flyer this year has an interesting history. Beginning of first grade he is with grandma, on melds, and the first Terrific Kid of the year. Then about this time of year dad gets out of prison and demands he be taken off meds even tho gam still had custody. By the end of the school year he was throwing desks out of frustration when he gets into trouble bc he can't keep his hands to himself or finish work, etc. starts second grade with me. No desk throwing but still having s very rough time. I'm pulling out all my ADHD tricks and the big issue remains how he treats others. Always in their faces and touching etc. schoolwork just doesn't get done. Met with dad and grandma yesterday. (Back up to gma and I have been talking/texting all year already and she's determined he's going back on meds to be successful). Dad does the mean talk to student in front of me saying he will straighten up or else. I talked to him about "can't " and "won't". In a tactful way I basically said if you are saying he CAN abut WON'T do right then he's really A BAD kid. (Again I didn't use those exact words). But if he really CANT control most of these behaviors there Re ways to help him. They left the conference with a nothing's changed attitude. But. Guess who got picked up early today to go back to his dr to get back on meds? Dad texted that he was coming and to let me know he wants student to be successful. Sigh. Of. Relief. Now we begin the fun of adjusting if there are tummy aches and no appetite.
Thankful day 1
I am thankful for my entire family.
Weekend
Camping at Mistletoe State Park in Georgia! Was a much deserved break after a week of getting report cards ready with a new online grade book as well as CogAt testing for 3rd grade GATE. Now this week coming up is IA testing for the same thin, Program Tuesday evening, half day Wednesday after storybook character parade and pumpkin explorations, followed by parent teacher conferences. If the kids do anything on Thursday or Friday it probably won’t be becasuse I made them do it! Hopefully this weekend prepped me for the week ahead!
“Restrain yourself”?
“Occasional phase?”
Right now it’s raisin toast and butter. Is that close enough?
Conferences
Why do the parents of the good kids always make the conferences and the ones who NEED HELP never show up? I think it’s kind of a self answering question.
My mom is out of pain and the arms of the Lord. She went quietly last night after a long battle with COPD.
This is Us
Catching up on season two all at once is very depressing. Yet I can’t look away.
I dreamed of the most incredible classroom ever. It had a little mini theater room, a kitchenette, super comfy seating, and much more. ‘‘Twas a delightful dream. But alas Monday I will still be in the cramped and hard to use classroom I’ve had for years.
Annoyed.
I understand that we didn’t know how bad this hurricane was going to be. And I understand that just a week ago, Charleston looked like it was going to get it really bad.
But now we’ve had 4 days off of school for nothing. The weather has been beautiful and perfect. A week of school missed that we have to make up.
And I had so much planned out this week. Just pisses me off.
Not to mention that I’ve been useless this entire “break”. I’ve done nothing.
Pretty much what my last post meant.
Waiting sucks
Not that I want a storm. But I want SOMETHING to justify this time out of school. Just happen already so our lives can move on.
Thanks missy
For doing buddies for us again! So excited.
Stress
Is when both girls are fighting with their significant others. Oldest is married with a kid and they are dealing with the usual “he doesn’t do anything to help and gets mad when I ask him to do something for the little.” Youngest AND her bf live with us (both 24 and broke). He went out last night to play pool. Driver her car. Promised not to drink and drive but did. Came home at 5am drunk and less $250 from his paycheck that he just got. He owes me $100 a week for fixing his truck ($600 tots he’s paid twice). He told her he’d asked me if he could wait to pay till next week but he hadn’t. Not the first lie she has caught him in recently. God I want her to kick him to the curb. I’m half tempted to kick him out! But I can’t really do that to her. It needs to be her decision. Unless he quits paying. Then hubby will handle it himself.
School
Been back one week without kids and I’m so tired. But it’s a good tired. Ready for the babes on Monday. Let’s get this party started!
Current status as I leave for lunch!
Summer reading camp isn’t too bad to teach. I have 13 pretty well behaved kids. Half days. Friday off. Extra money. I’m digging it!
Teacher jeopardy is amazing. Love them all
