This week one of my students committed suicided. He was 15 years old. Today they buried him. This week I returned to work after having an asthma attack and being out for 4 days. This week my principal put me on a PDP. This week we had a health fair at the school, so I had to work on my only daughter's birthday. She turned 13. This week my car broke down and cost me $450.00. This week Jennifer came to my class for my observation and I lost my computer cord (I could not get to my lesson plan, so I tried to do it over, did not work). My lesson was a mess and I was very tired and ready to give in.
This week Jennifer gave me some VERY SPECIFIC instructions and I changed my room lighting, moved all my desk around into the U shape then the students can and took all my table upstairs for the health fair so on Monday I will have to start all over again by myself.
This week....
I'm sorry for what you've had to endure. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I want to extend my sympathy and empathy as well. I'm so sorry that you had such a tough week. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteStacy,
ReplyDeleteIf you would like, we can go over your PDP and come up with a plan. Please remember through all this you are not alone. Ms. Mims and I are there to support you. Dr.J
Stacey, I'm so sorry for everything you have been through this past week. You are in my thoughts and prayers! If you need to talk to someone, please give me a call.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers go up for you. Perhaps God is using you as the STRONGER vessel in the class to reach and teach the lost students/souls in your class. Read the bible daily and try to focus on the "Fruits of the Spirit". "He will Never leave nor forsake us". In everything give THANKS!
