[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 190448, member: 1631"] Susie-Others are willing to take them but they don't like to spread out the Special Education teachers over too many environments so I guess it's o.k. to put a whole bunch in one room because it is almost always the classroom teacher in our district who gets last consideration. Klmno-No one to write to. They know the problem but with the budget shortfall needs just aren't always met. Adrianne-We're trying to work all that out-luckily the spec. ed teacher deals with recess, lunch and specials as far as finding support. TM-Blended is right! Beth-It seems like we should be able to request a 1:1 (we have a few who need it) but our district refuses to do that in almost all cases at the elementary level. House-Thanks for the support. I like how things work in your state! GVCmom-After today I wish I could get at least 2 more aides! Mary-I teach 4/5th grades. It is really a very heavy load this year. Beth-Thanks for the good thoughts! Heather-Yeah-I'm a bit concerned too, with dealing with it at school and home. One or two is o.k. but this is more than that. I had told my principal last year I was hoping not to have any violent kiddos (she is gone this year) and now I have two with that potential. Everywoman-Wow-30 in a day is a lot! Modifying and adapting is hard with so many. 1 Day-Thanks for the nice comments and positive vibes. Lisa-I don't think finding extra support is going to be easy. I'm suppose to have at least 3 adults in my room at all times-that was the original plan- but there are already several blocks of time with only 2. K-Thanks for asking how the day went. It was a long first day. It was probably the hardest first day I've probably ever had (and I've had difficult groups before). The morning went fairly well-it is a very chatty group. The afternoon although shortened for the first day brought out just how much support this group needs. I won't go into detail-I'm so exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open. Of course, The fact that it hit in the 90s today didn't really help as we have no ac in the building. I really like the kids in my class, just wish there was more support-it is needed. I think I may possibly have a 9th child with an iep-from another sd and we haven't received transcripts yet. We usually have to wait til three weeks of the year have passed to see if they will provide additional help-I hope something can be done sooner! [/QUOTE]
