I made a kindergirl tear up today. I asked her to copy the word root from the board to her paper as we pointed to it.
She had not been to school for many days due to lice and other things so so had little practice developing those motor skills to print her letters or write on a line. Finally, I printed the words on her paper and she could copy it. Success.

I have a lot to learn about skills for 5 and 6 yr. olds. Some in the richer school districts have kids more advanced. Today I tried to do math and the concept one plus one was OK until you put it on paper.

After school I faxed in all my papers, resume, credential, transcripts, cbest, letters of reference and cover letter to teach summer school in the place I taught last year. Tomorrow after the same 6th grade I had on Mon., I am interviewing for an adult ed. teaching job. I used to do that in HI.

I went walking again today.

Richard came over again today. He lost his research paper. I have it on the computer. His last assignment is due typed tomorrow, He is supposed to do all his work with no accommodation and only having his aide read it to him. I understand grades have to be in but what are they going to do for the rest of the year?
