Rockin' in the L.C.!

I was given another adult helper this week in the Learning Center where I teach Special Ed. kids. I had one, and was notified the day before Thanksgiving Break that I was getting another one. I was somewhat apprehensive, as I have found that having help in the room requires training and I often find myself thinking, "It would be easier if I could just do it myself."

My first para, Softheartedgal, is certainly a nice gal, but struggles with pushing the kids to do the work themselves. I often find myself saying, "You need to let so-and-so do it." Last week she tried to give a student the answer key to simply fill in the answers so she could to help another student. I looked at her and said, "No, you can't do that." I was kind about it, but was frustrated because she should know that the kids need to do the work themselves. So when I found out I was getting another adult, I was hesitant because I didn't want to have to teach another teacher.

However, the new para is WONDERFUL! She came to me from the LifeSkills Room, and she is GREAT at making the kids work and stay focused on their work. I'm gonna call her RockStarPara! She is SUCH an enormous answer to prayer! I now foresee these kids going REALLY far!

SWEET!

Life.
Is.
Rockin'!
