@Faith-and-Hope I have been given a space I can work in that I will share with another couple of teacher's throughout the week but I am happy with that as I have a 'home' that I can leave my bag and sit to do what I need to do. The teacher that is there most is really lovely and I am in her class during the week as well so that is nice too.
I think the more I get into the term - and the more familiar I am with the students and teachers - the easier it will be. I already know I will be working with one small group in one class and one student on reading in another. There is a class I will be doing some science with as well so that is exciting. I'm sure over time it will all work itself out and am super excited that I will be taking that group of grade 6s to do the papier mache. There is also an afternoon I will be working with the 4/5s where they do a project they are interested in - so I am down for the art based ones. It is a new program this year so no-one really knows what to expect - that means I won't be alone in trying to sort it out.
There is a lot to be excited about - I need to not put so much pressure on myself as there are things I cannot do or find more difficult and rather than stressing myself too much to do those things I need to be open that I can't do them. One teacher has already asked me to do something with Reading that is my achilles heal - I did tell her I am not good at that so lots of learning for me to be done. I have had several PD sessions on it but for some reason it just doesn't sink in - hoping with more practice and more help it can.
I hope this lady today is perfect for you and D2 - it must be so frustrating that you even have to do this but it may be a blessing in disguise - giving both you and D2 some time apart and D2 getting used to other people in her life. If she is anything like her mum then despite her disabilities she will embrace this new person in her life
