Friday. The classroom was relatively calm with all the students doing something at their desks. Natalie needed my attention as she had logged herself out of her computer and needed me to log her back in. (She can type in her password, but she can't type in her username which is her student email address.)
I looked up to see the principal standing at the door.
Uh oh. What did I do now?
I approached.
The principal was facing out towards our back patio. She said that she wanted all my students to remain in the room as another student was having an episode. The student? Not one of mine.
Phew.
Doris has violent meltdowns. So does Domingo. And we'd had our fair share of incidents during the week.
It was nice to be the calm classroom with no issues whatsoever at that moment in time. We do have our moments.
It is nice when you are not in the hot seat.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
DeleteWhat a relief
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteWhew! :)
ReplyDeleteI asked my principal every time he wanted to ask me something. Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong? You dodged it.
ReplyDeleteI know.
DeleteI know what you mean. :-)
ReplyDeleteNot a teacher but I know that feeling. Yes, it's a relief when it's someone else's turn. But then again you know your turn is going to come again.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this week. But it was nice it was not me last week.
DeleteI bet your glad it weekend.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
whew! But that must be hard to constantly deal with severe behavioral issues constantly
ReplyDeleteIt is. You can understand why their regular teacher retired.
DeletePhew! But you said it was your turn this week...
ReplyDeleteIt's good when you are expecting something bad and it turns out you aren't in trouble at all, such a relief, haha!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend :) We went to a birthday party yesterday which was fun.
Away From The Blue
You're never too old to worry about the principal.
DeleteThis is enough to keep you in stitches---the kind that you do yourself. So glad you have your handiwork for comfort and relaxation and pure enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's nice to have something to take my mind off of it all.
DeletePhew! What a relief!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Liz!
I couldn't deal with this type of thing. Supposedly sane adults are more than enough for me most days. Be well!
ReplyDeleteIt can be a lot.
