Day 6, Oh the Joys of the Edge.

This is the first Tuesday at Edgemont we're still rattling off the spiel & making helper cards one of the classes showed up late so they didn't even get to finish their helper cards which isn't a bad thing, but this should only be a one class project.  This is the first day we are seeing the ASD kids part of me is saying I can't wait I have a cousin who is autistic so I am looking forward to this class.  The ASD class is our last class of the day after which we have principle directed time.  It was during the ASD class that I feel I saw one of my first real challenges that is going to come with the world of teaching.  These kids were out of control there are only ten of them & three para pros.  One girl is a real handful she is a fourth grader I think she was screaming & yelling she even started hitting one of the para pros.  The students blew through the assignment sheets we had for them.  It was probably the only class I have been in so far that has left me feeling totally helpless.  If it wasn't for an unplanned fire drill I don't know if we would have had anything else for them to do.
