Working

This is their regular ride. If it is in their IEP to have a para on the bus the district has to supply one. The one that rides is sick.

@GardenGerty Oh okay, I see. Was the bus ride uneventful?

March check comes tomorrow,,,great for me!

I felt like I was missing out by not being at the school, this let me get it out of my system. I really want to work from home if I can find something regular.

@GardenGerty there are companies that you can work from home. I hope you can find a good one! I applied for one years ago but with no customer service experience I wasnt hired.

I taught, never subbed

It was a very uneventful day.

Have fun, if you can

@GardenGerty That's good, though, isn't it?

@nonersays we sent one off before noon for an out of town appointment. One I was to ride the bus with was sick. One that was there we sent home because we believed he was ill. Two paras were already out, we sent the third one home. It was a very easy day. The situation has been so difficult this year that the teacher is retiring.

I hope so too

@TiarasOceanView I really doubt that I would go back to working in the school. I did this mostly because the teacher is a friend.

I have gotten too old to consider working, even part-time

@JWMILLER No rain at all here, a very dry winter for the moment, no rain, no snow.

It certainly is, with much rain and floods

Yes, now we are into March.

Yes, I did and they were lucky they could get me as well.

Lots of people within the building are sick, kids and staff. It did go okay.

Yes, I do like riding the bus. I am really only responsible for the special needs students.

@GardenGerty That is nice to hear. I hope you get to ride more often.

I am not really planning on going back. This was mostly because I really like the teacher, and we got a good chance to visit. Everyone in the classroom was sick or had appointments.

@GardenGerty That was kind of you.

Lol so many were out sick it was a very easy day. By noon we had no students left in our room.

@GardenGerty oh boy!

It was good. A little chilly here in Kansas, but no precipitation.

Lots of rain and flooding in Feb. Maybe March will be better

Para can be short for paraprofessional or paraeducator. Special education students who need one on one assistance qualify for this kind of help. I am trained specifically to work with certain students who have disabilities.

@GardenGerty That is great.

Yes, and the teacher in that classroom will be retiring, she has decided.

@GardenGerty Is there any potential that the fulltime job would be offered to you? (Would you take it if that was the case? )

We are supposed to get snow here tonight.

It was a very easy day, honestly.

It was a good day. Really they could have done without me, but they did not know that the students were all going to end up gone, as well as all the other paras.

It was a nice day. I got a lot of visiting in, as the kids were sick or at appointments for most of the day.

I will likely never completely retire. My check is not huge.

So many people were out sick I mostly did cleaning and sanitizing. I also worked on some curriculum.
