i hope i didn’t just jinx it all
Things have been going well. Suspiciously well.
I’m the only one of the three deaf ed. teachers that has an AWESOME general ed team to work with. The first grade teacher that I work with is so nice and so easy to get along with. She’s in her sixties and she’s still a fantastic teacher! We plan for and teach Science together and so far it’s been super fun.
The mandatory lesson plan format that we need to turn in to the principal every week has changed so that it’s actually a working document I can teach from! No more double lesson planning!!
I get to work with an aide this year! Two adults in the room for six children during Language Arts…. it doesn’t get much better than that!
I’m on top of my data collection (to chart progress) for the first time in…. oh, ever.
I like each of my kids and there are NO behavior problems that are beyond me!!
So far, it’s shaping up to be a great year… go knock on some wood for me!

It’s because I love the time travel element of this show. However, surprisingly I’m not going to talk about time travel today. For this post I [...]
