Update

Wow since my last post Gabe's behavior has done a 180. His mom stopped his sugar intake and the doctor upped his Adderall. The difference is amazingly impressive. The only downfall I see is that he knaws on his fingers now. Knuckles, fingernails, etc. It's extremely disgusting. But it's MUCh better than the behavior. He's ALMOST enjoyable to be around.

Another bad part about it is that since he isn't acting out all the other kids ARE! OH man are 3 or 4 of them trying my patience daily. Luckily it's not behavior like his, but just as annoying. Oh well I'll deal right?

The last two weeks I've just been doing fun crafts. The census has been low and I've been pulling out some artwork to make up for the lack of forethought on my co-teachers part. I don't mind mostly, but it's annoying to have to pick up the slack all the time. Examples?

1. I get the kids ready to clean up and circle
2. I get the story she reads in circle
3. I get the kids started on their activities most days
4. After they are done with her activity I'm usually the one monitoring them. If I don't they start
to act out and it gets crazy in there.
5. I'm the one who gets them cleaning up and at the tables for quiet time before lunch.

I could go on, but I won't. I'm feeling bitchy today lol.

She is a nice woman, she is a fun person to do class with and talk to, and when it really counts she's there. It would just be nice to have someone there ALL the time.

Anyway I found a nice teacher worksheet template site that I thought I'd share.
