If you've read this blog over the past two months, you know I'm having a sucky school year. The behavior problems are unbelievable. At any given moment, I have a girl sitting under her desk whistling (the fact that she even sits at a desk, while they rest of my crew sits at tables, is an indicator of big issues), a boy who is swearing at kids in Spanish, another boy who is growling but doesn't realize it because of his ADHD, and another boy who is stealing all of the magnets off of my board. And really, that's not even all of the behavior issues. On top of it, most of my kids are reading on a 2nd grade level (I teach 3rd), and I have kids who still count 10 plus 4 on their fingers.
It's no secret my class is a bit of a disaster. This class has been declared the toughest class in the school.
So why then, when a new student showed up last week, was the student put in my class? A student with autism and major autism-related behaviors? A student who really needs a one-on-one aide, but is the second student in my class who needs one? I don't even get a one-on-one aide for either of them!
Dear god I may not make it until mid-June. Anyone want to take my 27 little angels for a week or so? They're awfully cute. Please leave your name and which week you'd like in the comment section.
