I had that year last year. When I finally gave in and realized that every week was going to be the same, I decided to plan many hands on very fun tasks and not worry so much about everything else. I let my program specialist and administrators know that due to behaviors I wasn't able to get data at the rate I previously had been at. I also was charting behavior so I could point to that if anyone questioned data collection. No additional help was provided to me, but doing the fun activities did help (even though I still had the violent tantrums). And it helped me.
I bought a Stomp Rocket from Amazon, and the kids really loved that.
I put out play dough every day and they also loved that.
I bought favorite foods for the kids who it really helped and I have been anti-food as reward my whole career.
Do what you have to do to survive and keep speaking up to your superiors about safety and the need for additional staff, consultation with expert staff, etc.
Good luck!
