Sometimes you’re just thrown into cold water


This week was insane. I ended up having three times as much work to do as normal and I was completely overwhelmed. We also suddenly had an exam that we had not prepared for AT ALL! And to top it off, I got sick. REAL SICK. I ended up cancelling two different day trips and had to skip my usual Jr. High tutoring, which I LOVE! I slept a lot and worked little. By some miracle I still got everything done… God is real people. And miracles do happen!


For the exam, we had to write three different essays. One was what you would say in an IEP, another was how to teach about collaboration, and the last one was an outline for a special needs curriculum in the stake. These were all really good essays to write and our team came together perfectly! Nell and I ended up doing the bulk of the IEP “script.” Our role was a regular ed teacher who was asked to join the IEP meeting, her first IEP meeting. I realized that I could very well be that person in real life someday. I will someday have to attend my first IEP meeting and figure out what to say! This exam helped me to have a little glimpse of what it will be like. I will be thrown into cold water, and hopefully I can perform well.
