Journal from 9-12 to 9-15

9-12
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.
