has it really been a month??

Well, it has been an interesting month. When I last posted my parents were coming for the boys' birthday. It wasn't awfull but wasn't that spectacular. Anyways, I hopefully won't have that encounter for a bit. Since then my sister has informed me that my mother is yet again hearing noises and seeing people that are not there. Here we go again. My sister is doing o.k. but I really want her to go and get a second oppinoin. Call it what you want but I have a feeling that what her doctor is telling her isn't 100% on the mark.

Well this week I have started classes again. That sounds kind of weird because I am really only taking one class this quarter. It is actually the last official class that I have. I am also taking a seminar on my clinical practice and then the clinical practice. The last two are only 6 weeks long so I will be done by the middle of November. The clinical practice is another phrase for student teaching. It looks simple but we will see.

I have to tell you that today we(at work) had a parade and popcorn and punch for the kids because they filled their Giraffe's. We started a new program in Spectrum which is PBIS. This program is emphasizing the good things that we should be doing and avoiding the negatives, exp.- having a quiet voice rather than no yelling, or walking feet rather than no running(just to name a few). It is really working well with most of the children. Of course you have those few that will need a little extra reminding. All in all our party and parade was really cute. We made them all have a penant, and they all got to hold a stuffed Giraffe.
