My student has a new bus starting today. She will now be riding later in the day so as to have a shortened school day, which is great for the both of us I think. I begin to run out of things to do, so to make school more enjoyable, the day is riddled with breaks after doing a little work. She is getting more work done than I think she has ever done and I get less of a headache. I'm starting to form a basal for assessments and the like. It's harder than it seems since she can only sit still for about five to ten minutes. Lets look to extending that time.

Had an even easier time getting on the bus. It looks as though she just needed a little more time in the morning. We had a hard time during the fire drill today. No one mentioned that she collapses when the fire alarm goes off. So if there is a fire, looks like we'll be carrying her out. I got a little time in front of the class today which was a nice break. I would like to get more time as I mentioned before, but that doesn't look to be the case any time soon. I'm learning from the other IA's and they have been tons of help as far as occupying my student. I have a bunch of ideas to lay the ground work for some real classwork and am looking forward to tomorrow.

Got on the bus easily today. Alright!! It's nice cause I get mornings apparently in front of the class before I go and pick her up, forcing me to be creative with how I teach the days of the week, go over the calendar, and the weather. I might try making some kind of costumes of the sun, clouds, or what have you. The students might think its funny, but I'll ask them questions about what I am, when I am around, what the weather needs to be like to see me, and all that good stuff. It's going to be awesome!

I have had a number of challenges today. First my one on one student did not come to school today again, and refuses to ride the bus. I don't know if it is the other students on the bus, the noise, or the time of day, but I hope that we can have more luck tomorrow. I am also struggling with a teacher who doesn't seem to want to teach. She mostly sits at her desk and delegates jobs to people. It's a little frustrating. If she is busy with paperwork, then she needs to try and balance her jobs as a teacher. I guess I will have plenty of time to practice teaching a class.

Still no one-on-one student. Her mother tried getting her on the bus today. That didn't work. I need to find out what makes her tick. Had more practice today as an instructor. I may try leading more and more in the classroom so to be more experienced in different subjects. Here's to that. I am also working on setting up the classroom experience for my student when she finally arrives. Here's to hoping as well.

Got her on the bus today! We focused on making my student feel welcome to the classroom. She is sensitive to loud noises and other such stimulus. I will probably end up working in a separate learning environment with her when she is here. We didn't get much work done, but the little work she did earned her some time for breaks and playdo! So, she likes that. Ill be setting up testing soon if she continues to come to school. I hope I can get that done soon. It's nice having such experienced staff that can help with my student. I haven't nearly the amount of knowledge they do.

Wouldn't get on the bus today. It looks as though they will be getting her her own bus a little later in the morning starting Monday. I think that a later start may be good for her and me, just so she can have time to get her bearings before the day truly starts. So, I will see her then. I had plenty of time in front on the class today. It's nice to get support from the other staff since they know that I need the practice for next year.
