I have spent many minutes trying to think of something to write about. I do not want to whine about how tires I am from thinking so much (we all are feeling a need for a break I am sure). I do not want to admit that I had the hardest struggle today staying awake in a class today; the teacher asked e in front of the students if I enjoyed my cat nap. I thought I kept my eyes opened the whole time and apologized to him for failing. I could blame the change in the schedule, the exhausting weekend of taking care of the baby as she slowly recovered from her illness, staying up to watch the Hallmark movie about another inspirational teacher that inspired me to keep going. I could do all of these things but it seems senseless and really boring.
I could share my story that I am writing in second person that I am writing but this will be posted in the discussion area so that would be redundant.
I need to study for my special education praxis that I am taking this Saturday (OMG! that is in only five more days!) Okay I need to write something great and then hit the 5 inch manual to study for that test. Maybe while I am studying I will come across the information needed to write the IEP for a "student" that is ED and GT. I have no clue what to write for benchmarks. I know it would be wrong to write "stay alive" as an objective of one annual goal; the case study says he has attempted suicide twice.
I feel the meed to apologize for this little passage of nothingness. I call it freewriting for that is what it is a way to clear my mind so that I may move onto other things.
I was hoping to feel inspired to have a great idea to write as I was writing this but there seems to be too much clutter in the brain and this is it! I really need to create a list of topics someday to avoid this rambling on about nothing.
Here is hoping for better inspiration in the near future.
Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI hear myself in your 'rambling about nothing'. How did you do on that last IEP we did? He hasn't graded mine yet and Robert's is due next week. I'm just wondering if I'm even close to the mark of an accurate and complete IEP. 300 points for each sure seemed like a huge portion of our grade....
I'm sure you'll do fine this Sat. Nancy will be taking it too. I think you both will do great, because you work in the resource room and are surrounded by the material daily.
Deep Breath! :)
No I have not received any fedback on the IEP, although to be honest I am not surprised for it seems I have received very little feedback onmost of my assignments. I also agree that 300 points for each is a huge amount of points for our grades.
ReplyDeleteWriting Robert's IEP is a struggle for me for it seems there are so many things I would like to do but know that my hands as a special ed teacher can be restricted and must folow guidelines on the documents. I am tryiong to get it done before Saturday so that I can consnetrate on the exploraation paper that is becoming time consuming too.
Thank you for the vote of confidence about Saturday hope to see you and Nancy there.
