Today was a he!! of a day... (warning this is a vent... sorry)

I was all ready for my first day of school. I left FH's at ten to 6. I was in lots of traffic and accidentally bumped someone's car. I was hysterical crying and the guy felt so bad (even though it was my fault) that he wanted to wait with me until I calmed down. So, after that, traffic was 50 times worse and I got to work 10 minutes late. Then I got 5 new admits to my class, who had no seats and had to sit on the floor all day. After school 2 kids weren't picked up and I had to wait with them for an hour until I reached their parents. Then I just had a root canal. I'm ready for bed!!!!

On a good note, I arrived home to my veil which was just delivered. I'll post pics later.

I apologize for my long and drawn out vent.

Thanks! How was your first day of school?

well not too bad.

there was so much confusion today with our kids having lunch this year in the rooms, so we only got half a lunch since we got stuck watching the kids

then we got 2 new admits in our CTT room who only speak spanish, we are trying to find out what to do with them, because if they are NOT special ed they cant be in our room. but one might be - and then they need to get us a para - who knows. all i know is that i some how took the little bit of spanish i know and had a converstaion with him and stopped him from crying so that was

why can't the be in your room if they are not special ed if its a CTT class?

they cant be in a CTT room if they are ESL only. If they are ESL and special ed then yes they can be
i have NEVER heard that before

thats how it is in my school... dont know about the rest of NYC

i mean, think about a school that is 80% ESL - it would be impossible not to have any on the GE side of a CTT class

IDK about that - but im pretty sure they cant be placed in CTT - they might have to then move gen ed kids into it from other classes

WOW~~~
I hope that you are feeling ok, with no major damage to you or the car. It stinks that those kids had no seats,, even worse that you had to wait for them to be picked up!
Feel better and have a better day tommarow!
