Some days

When you work with children every day brings a new experience some good some bad. Last week was an exceptionally difficult one. One of our students was a walking time bomb. It would take very little to set her off and when she did the whole class would erupt. In our classroom there are students that can not handle yelling or crying. When she would begin to escalate some students would cover their ears and rock or cry. Others would run up to her and scream at her to stop. She was sent to the principal 5 times last week and after she left the room there was work to be done to calm down the rest of the class. I love what I am doing, but last week was a little draining and I was ready for bed by 9:00 PM every night. This week has been better and I am looking for ways to try to stop the problem before it gets out of control. This is a great learning experience and I am observing how other teachers are handling these difficulties. I am glad to be able to learn how to intercede when necessary.
