This^^ I have a few students with seizure disorders where the parents historically throw fits at the start of each school year over needed to bring in Diastat. After 2 weeks I send home a letter...
Ours is still called teacher's appreciation but they make sure all staff is included. :) But I was SHOCKED when my AP sent out her biweekly calendar that she noted School Nurse's appreciation day on...
I know this is all just a part of the end of the year routine for everyone here but I've seen 45 kids today and there is still 3.5 more hours to go! Some of the high lights: Little boy has spring...
This reminds me of a talk I had with one of our OT people who come into the school. One of the fidget toys she uses for students broke and one student asked when she was getting a new one. She said...
It's my birthday weekend :) We are doing dinner at my tiny ones favorite place (red robin) and then ice cream at my favorite local place. The hubs also promised that I can sleep in BOTH Saturday and...

I say a little thank you prayer that poison control exists on a monthly basis. lol If it is the same students, or students in the same room, I would go and speak with the teacher and see how the room...
Teacher to one of my SPED kiddos : "Are you excited to be a 4th grader?" Kiddo: "A what?!" Teacher: "A 4th grader. now are are a 3rd grader, next year you will be a fourth grader" Kiddo: "That sounds...

I made the mistake of telling one of my staff members this morning that I recommended her going home to get checked for pink eye. I've checked 5 more teachers since then and we are on only hour 2 of...

Hold on to this. I know it's hard when things go wrong when you aren't around, I feel like it's basically Murphy's law in my office when I take a personal day. YOU did everything right from where you...
38 more days, like real, including weekend days until Summer for me!! I'm just excited to have the days with my little one, she's nearly two! We are staying local since I'm working on keeping this...
This is my fear. Right now I have an AWESOME SPED team. The two main teachers are no nonsense, kind and wonderful people, and the paras that have been at the school a while are just like them. But we...
I feel like this is different for each of us. My district requires an IHP for any student with a 504 BUT an EAP can be counted as a IHP. I think it's really repetitive but the higher ups argument is...
I think this really depends on the kind of person you are. For the city school: You will need to have strong assessment skills, a big and unbreakable heart and strong charting and communication...
I think some kids are just wired different. I have a family with 5 littles (one in each grade level here) and the littlest one is the most polite little guy in the word. NONE of the others are like...
I'm going to be repeating this to myself next week. Last year I had some "prep" work my former principal had me due prior to testing. I had to send an extra letter home reminding families of our...
