Everything Wasn't Coming Up Roses
I started the day receiving a beautiful pink rose from one student and ended my day being calling a bitch by another student.

Get On The Bus
When is the last time your principal rode the bus home with you? Well I bet a lot of my students never imagined the principal would be riding home with them. Initially I was invited to ride by the bus driver because the students were a little unruly; however, when I got on the bus and took a seat the bus was probably the quietest it has ever been.

Special Needs
This morning the first few hours of my day were spent trying to figure out a plan for a wheelchair bound student who will be returning to school tomorrow after being out ill for several weeks. Unfortunately the illness has limited the student's mobility more than ever. Staff members had to be trained on how to assist the student in the restroom; and a plan was devised to make modifications to the restrooms that will be used. Tomorrow should be very interested.

Staff Development
Tomorrow our staff will receive staff development on Differentiated Instruction. I'm looking forward to some great staff development but my question is this.... will the staff take what they've learned and use it in the classroom? So often the staff participates in effective staff development and then they think of a million reasons why they don't have time to implement the strategies they've learned or the all too famous line... "This won't work with our students." When are we going to stop making excuses and make a change?
