Yes things have finally calmed down and I've just finished my busiest week--had 4 IEP meetings in 3 days and all were transfer students. I've...
40! :eek: Yeah wide range here too.
I will admit that I am one of these who added on a test, but I had experience working with the kids as a TA and I sat in on some meetings as a TA...
Yes, a big exercise ball, even for high schoolers. Some kids with ADD simply will not, cannot, do anything unless in motion and with the ball the...
Yes, I think you were fine to bring it up once it sounds like, but if you kept pushing you'd be labeled a whiner. IDK, on one hand I think it's...
I get it. I sat in on several IEP meetings before I got my position but when I had to actually lead one? :woot: Too scary. But really it's not....
Oy, what a day. 1 IEP meeting yesterday and 2 in 1 today as they're brothers. Another one Monday. It was just me and g-ma today b/c the counselor...

Yeh but only for 1st and 2nd hour and I need her all day and could actually use another one in there for 1st and 2nd hour. My mantra has become,...
Got a TA! Yay! And Life Skills is a class now and we made bread today. And I've got a great bunch of kiddos.
