Day 74

It was hard to believe that today was a Monday. I can't think of the last time that I had a more boring day. I showed my students the photo presentation I created with the pictures they took last week. We watched it twice. They really enjoyed watching themselves.

No real drama today, no out bursts, just holiday craziness. Only three and a half more days until the break. I told my students about the "Keep Em On Task" program and started watching them today. I am not sure it will make much of a difference. My same three students were off task almost every time the program sounded.

One of the moms came in today to check on her son. I gave a more glowing report than he deserved, but I wanted to try to motivate him a little. I knew if the real report got out, grandpa would be mad. I just need to work with him longer to get him used to me. He is getting his homework done on time. That is a real plus.

I met with our committee today and they are finally getting my student evaluated for special ed. It has been a long time coming. He brought in a calculator today and tore it apart. I threw it away and talked to his mother. She was not too happy.

I left tonight at 4:30, ready for another day plus.
