She helps Caroline, who asked to be placed in the children with their reading, math, a hearing impaired class, plans to spelling, and art, and also makes up some tests. Patience, one necessity for any teaching career, would seem even more important in a special class. However, Caroline stressed that she loved children so much, especially these, that it was very hard to become impatient with them. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Caroline along with the other teacher’s aides who taught in different schools around the county do not report to Burns. Instead, from 8:00 until 10:15 they work in their as- signed classrooms. Then on Mondays and Fridays they have classes and share experiences from the diaries they are required to keep. “It’s a very rewarding experience for me, and it makes me feel wonder- ful when a student takes his time and teaches me something new,” com- mented Caroline with a smile. TOP: Caroline is having each student to write their own spelling words that they must learn each week. BOTTOM: Brian Gettys places a bone into the dogs mouth. The object of the game is to read the word on the bone and sign it, then place it in the dogs mouth. Child Care 91
