What to do...

Oddly enough, today there was little to do. Yesterday I sent out the consent for assessment forms for the upcoming IEP and inputted my next IEP kid's info into the SELPA database. I was done with all my assessments for the school, caught up on all my emails, and prepared for my counseling sessions. I did have one kid to meet with for a 20-25 minute counseling session and that went smoothy (we talked about what "bugs" us and did and art project while we talked). But beside that there wasn't much to do. So I played with my current psych report, added in some tables to make it look neater, backed up all my files on my flash drive, wrote stupid joking emails back and forth with my other supervisor, and hung out in the special ed room. The day went by at a snails pace due to my lack of anything to do. But then all my behavior mod kids showed up at the same time (not my plan) so I had three kids in an extremely small space all fighting over the video game. Lovely, just lovely. I managed to shoe them all out of the room but one of them still ended up missing her bus so I had to march her up to the office to have her mom called. Bummer. But seriously, besides this maybe HOUR of work, I was pretty much sitting around researchering various topics of interest (my current one is kids who can read fluently but without comprehension - whats that about??) and designing a counseling game for next week (think candyland +problem solving questions). Not that those are not worthwhile ways to spend my time, but still I didn't feel like I met my productivity quota for the day. At around 2:30 I had the special education teacher mention to me that she needed some data regarding the previous intervention groups so I contacted my supervisor and asked if it was something I could do. It was. So I finally found my chore at 2:30. I ended up working until 5pm processing a pile of RtI intervention data. LOL, so at least I left the day feeling like I had accomplished something. Too bad it was only the last couple hours of the day!
