one month down...

6 more to go? I figure I've got til the end of March. So, that's not bad. 1/7 down. School / work is actually going pretty well. I'm still learning lots, and really am thinking more and more that there needs to be a manual titled "So you're a resource teacher. Here's what that means." There is so much that they just don't tell you. We did get a great training session on how to create the electronic special education plans (eSEP), but I'm pretty computer savvy anyway, and likely could have gotten that part on my own. What they didn't tell us is like, when, specifically, to create a plan. And which type of plan to create in which circumstances. I had no idea. I thought I knew, but I was wrong. Slightly terrible that I've been doing this for a year and am only now learning what seem to be the basics of the job. I can do all the other aspects, as far as I know, the working with kids in small groups, the finding of resources for teachers, the modifying of lessons and units for kids, the testing and stuff. So, I don't feel like a complete idiot, but I do feel a bit annoyed that I have no way of even knowing what questions to *ask*, and I'm sure there are other things that I don't know I don't know. Fun.

We get to do the Terry Fox run tomorrow. It was supposed to be Friday, but it was raining pretty hard most of the day, and while I would have been fine sending the middle school kids out in the rain to run around, nobody really wants to make the wee kids go out and get all wet. I plan to join the primary group for the "run", since they just have to walk around the school. The older kids have to go on a bit of a trek. It should be interesting. They complained enough when we had to do the evacuation drill and walk about 3 minutes down the road.

I feel gross. I had breakfast for supper, and I think the sausages might have been a mistake. Also, Prison Break is on. I have to fight the man because he wants to watch the new show Chuck, and I don't. I'm not all that impressed by Prison Break thus far, but I want to give it a chance.
