That is all absolutely true. Just try doing that x 38 for all learning needs in a classroom. Most teachers I know do our best, but it's become overwhelming. This past year, for instance, my 6th period had 38 students. 23 of those had individual learning plans. 11 were English Language Learners, and almost all were reading below grade level. Throw in a few behavior plans, health plans, and gang contracts, and you'll see my point. Luckily, I didn't have many behavior problems, but I had to adjust lesson plans to accommodate all of them. It's frustrating because you WANT to do it all. It's just not possible.

Gang contracts? Do I want to know?

I just ordered the Freaked Out book from Amazon. That looks perfect for Crazy Dog.
As far as boxes go ... not gonna happen, here. Boxes don't last long enough for playing games. Boxes are for covering the living room floor in little, tiny pieces of cardboard snow. We play the Name Game all the time. Skye knows the names of every single toy she has. Her favorite (formerly) stuffed toy is "Blue Dog,"followed closely by "Beaver" and her "Tug." The Rope is moving up quickly and it looks like her new "Moo" is a hit, as well. She knows the difference between "Ducky" and "Quackers" - but if you ask her for her duck, she'll bring whichever one is closest. She knows the difference.
If you tell her to "Get your ball," she will bring whatever one strikes her fancy at the moment, but if you ask for a specific one (Jolly Ball, Tennis, Squeaky Ball) she gets the right one. She LOVES stuffies - but she loves them best with all of the stuffing meticulously removed ... by her. The one exception is "Bunny." Bunny came with her from the rescue, and remains completely intact after more than two years of serious loving. Bunny is her bedtime snuggly. When she's over-tired, she goes upstairs to get Bunny, and comes back down whining with her rabbit held gently in her mouth. Apparently, Bunny is very special!
So, like I stated earlier, this is one smart dog ... she just has absolutely NO common sense. Not a lick!

Oh wow she sounds amazing! I hope that she can start to calm down some and learn to get along with everyone, etc. so you can all start to enjoy her again

And I hope the book helps!

Sorry for linking so many
