We just finished our in-service planning at the school this week and I had a chance to look at my schedule & class roster. I knew that I'd be on a 6th grade two man team (I'm teaching ELA/SS, my teammate is teaching Math/Science). I also knew that the class would be special ed inclusion. What's puzzling is that my team teacher is listed as both the Math/Science teacher and the special ed teacher.
Is this legal? My other team mates and I listed our concerns to the administration in writing today. What they do with our list of concerns is entirely up in the air. I hope that I'll at least have a paraprofessional available to assist me. If not, I'll make it through the best that I can until I take maternity leave in January. Please pray that there won't be any angry parents shouting for my head this year!!
P.S. We're having another GIRL!! Yippee!!
P.P.S. Yesterday, I found out that I will have help during my Social Studies class(es).

Hello! Congratulations on your baby and thank you for posting on my page. Blogger is so crazy because you see all of the "hits" and I know there is a story behind each hit and am so happy when people post. I think it is incredible that you submitting your concerns to your administrator. In my district you have to be very careful about those things. I'd love to read more about your experiences in the classroom and hope you stop by again.
Thanks for the support :). I'll be closely watching your blog, reading and learning how this teaching thing should be done :)! Thanks again.
Congrats on the new girl!
Thank you!! Feel free to send us food and love, lol!
