So I was thoroughly enjoying sharing my trials and triumphs last school year, then I just stopped. WHY?
I joked in a few posts that I needed full body tactical gear to protect myself from a few students and their aggressive behaviors. I should have taken that as serious advice. I was injured by a student, while in a “behavior crisis”, and spent most of last year recovering.
There is nothing interesting in reading about the headache caused by dealing with the district and workmen’s comp, so I will save you from that. The pain from the injury paled in comparison! I was able to finally get cleared to come back to my classroom with only a few weeks left…just enough time to drown while trying to complete all the necessary end of the year stuff and attempt to do Progress Reports, Report Cards, and the all IEPs that were not done in my absence (like all of them since none were done. I try and schedule an IEP one day late to accommodate a parent and get reprimanded for being out of compliance, but admin can put them off for months apparently)!
So that leads us to today! Only a little over a week before I have to report back to the new school year. I am NOT READY!!!!!
But I will be back to sharing, fun changes coming in my classroom this year….
