Student's First Day Back
Winter break is officially over and the little chaps have returned to school. In their return the majority of them have totally lost their ever-loving minds. Why is it that a week and a half at home with mummy and daddy has turned them into freaking wild beasts?!?!?!?!?!? My students who all have special needs are creatures of habit and routine. The break serves as a time for them to become familiar to their household routines and our school routines are quickly forgotten...Then two and a half weeks later it's time to start over and build the routines that we had established prior to break. I could tell who had been allowed to their own devices of self-stimulation and those who had been kept in a certain pattern. In a slight few there was definite evidence of eye poking and nipple twisting just to name a few...My thought was "here we go again!" Just what we had tried to put an end to before the holiday!!!!!
On a lighter note it is after all our 89th day of school which means we are almost over the hump!!!!! Thus leaving us with 91 days to go!!!! Woo hoo!!! Can't you tell I'm trying to psych myself up about this!!! Although on the bright side this school year has been phenomenal compared to last year. I was the new kid on the block, newly married, and with a younger group of children. This year I have slipped into a routine with a group that has more severe needs but also have less behavior problems, particularly in the area of being disrespectful which I must say is a plus in many ways.
