Another busy Monday in Our Happy Little Portable...We had eleven kids, which is high, but considering how the kids have apparently had a collective come apart everywhere you turn, that wasn't surprising.
What was surprising, however, was they apparently got the memo about "She'll really suspend you!" because they were good as gold. I did have to use the seat I refer to as the Penalty Box (so shoot me, I love hockey) because it's the one seat where no one can really see if there is a kid there. And I have a Drama Queen of a Seventh Grader who will stir up drama like no body's business. But put her in a seat where she can't see anyone, and they can't see her? Worked like a charm. She was quiet and she worked.
So they were, for the most part, pretty awesome.
However, the emails just kept coming. We have so many kids getting assigned to ISS that I'm taking advanced reservations. So I spent most of the day processing new kids who were getting assigned to ISS on Tuesday and on Wednesday (and one unfortunate fellow will be with me all the way through Thursday).
I really need to time how long it takes me to in process a kid...Set up a folder, print off a schedule and grades, type up an assignment sheet, email the assignment sheet, update my roster, assign a seat, fill out a contract, set up their work folder, blah, blah, blah.
But what I started to notice when I was processing my advanced reservations was that they were all kids I had had before. And kids I had had very, very recently. Like last week.
They apparently are NOT learning from their mistakes.
Which is not good.
