Day 36

I was only at school for part of the day today due to a medical appointment. My students like my sub and asked to have him back if I am going to miss again. I do not know if this is a good sign or not.

I met with the mother of one of my students today. She was very concerned and supportive of what we plan on doing for her daughter. This is a good sign. It was decided that I would not let my student go to the library if she has not written in her planner. This will go for all students who want to go to the library in the morning.

I had another student stay after school today to have me help her with her math. I may have made some progress. She seam to think that multiplication of multiple numbers was easy. Additionally, I am trying to get another student into resource reading. I visited resource with one of my other students since I had come back early. The resource reading teacher will look into what the protocol is.

Finally, one of my students lost her house key on the way to school today and was really feeling bad. Her mother was mad at her, her sister was mad because the mom yelled at her for letting my student take the key. My student was left school today in tears. I gave both her and her sister an otter pop; hoping to make them feel a little better. It is amazing how a little cold, colored sugar water will make a person feel better.

I was able to leave tonight by 6:15. I have everything ready for tomorrow and almost everything ready for Monday. I should not have to stay too late tomorrow. We will see.
