ADHD/SIED 6th grader was playing with a ball that we were playing a game with, and knocked over a picture that my parents had gotten from a SEDOL auction in Lake County that some special ed students had made.
This along with an SIED (specific identifiable emotional disorder) student telling me everything from my shoes didn't match that I was fat to that my hair is falling out.
Things to help make that memory go away:
The other 6th graders helping each other to clean up the mess and telling that it is okay to cry, and that is not stupid to get angry about something and cry.
D.E. telling me that he hates it when I am not there and that he doesn't learn anything in school when I am not there. Always being extremely protective of me and telling me that he won't be able to get through high school unless I am there to help him get through.
K.J writing an essay for the Hope Scholarship, which I nominated her for, and writing about how she would change immigration laws because of the struggles her family has gone through.
J.V. spending 2 hours to perfect his hurricane essay for me AND asking me every day to help him apply to high school.
B.C. telling me that me and another teacher are his role models, and that he feels safest coming into my classroom and he didn't feel safe before.
My 6th graders being hilarious and constructing beautiful thank you notes to all my donors for my literacy scripts project.
