i spent 45 minutes here.

Today Shannon wasn't there again. it was the same lady as last time. but instead of being in our normal room, we went to the "excel room". I don't really know what it was. There was a bunch of boys in there eating lunch and playing games. I tried to ask her what this room was for but she made a sarcastic comment and didn't answer me. I got to know some more kids though and hang out with them. 2 kids got in trouble though. she allowed them to both go to the bathroom and there was also a 1st grader in there. Some words were said then i believe the 1st grader pulled down his pants in front of them. Teachers came into the room to figure out what happened and the lady was pretty much just rude about it.

My 3 learning goals are...

1.) To make sure i want to go to college for psychology. This helps with that because being a guidance counselor is a career option.

2.) How to communicate with kids

3.) How to handle difficult situations and how to do the job in general.

Spent 30 minutes here.


talked about how it's confidential but charlie has mind problems and other people watching might think hes being rude and thinking "oh why are they letting him say that or ttreat them that way" but it's actually because theres something wrong with him. it wouldn't be okay to punish him for that reasons, they just have to explain things more to him.
He skipped his nurses visit which made him miss play time during lunch. He threw a fit and thats what started everything.

Today it was just Charlie there. We didn't really do much. He talked back to ms. baker a little more than usual today. She asked him what he did at recess and he didn't think it was her business so then they had a talk about that and why someone might as about someone else. He thinks its not okay to ask something personal in public when other people can hear the answer. and she explained she was just trying to make conversation and ask about himself. It ended with playing checkers. Owen was supposed to be there today but apparently he has a memory problem and he forgets things a lot.
