Meet the Teacher Night

Tonight was Meet the Teacher Night and being the special education teacher, I had one parent come see me.  Granted I had most of my kids last year, but wouldn't you want to meet the teacher and make sure your special ed student is comfortable and knows were to go?  I get so frusterated with the lack of parent support.  How do you deal with parent support or lack there of?

Your Blog is Hoppin' Award

My theme this year in my classroom is frogs!  With that said, I am always looking for some hoppin' ideas.  If your blog is hoppin' you may just see an email from me.  If you would like to submit your blog for review, you may do so by emailing me.

Bean Bag Mice

Make little bean bag mice with baby socks.  Have the kids fill the socks with beans or rice and tie the end off.  Tie some yarn around one end to make a nose and whiskers.  Glue on some eyes and a tail.

Summer Cleaning

Or should I say back to school cleaning?  Anyway, I am starting to clean out my files on my personal laptop and I thought I would share some goodies before I got rid of them to make room for new ideas.  Plus, if they are on my blog, then I can still access them (and so can you)!  Keep an eye out for the next few posts!

Putting It All Back Together

The last week, I have been in my room putting everything back together.  And as I was working, I started thinking about things I want to change or do more of this year.  I have moved over to the Common Core so I am exited to use some new ideas I have picked up this summer.  I took a break from blogging and Pintrest for a while to finish up the school year and enjoy the summer, but in just a few short weeks, I will be back in the swing of things.  Please share your new ideas!  I love to hear what others do.

Last Few Hours

It is the last few hours of Spring Break.  I have to say that it was a good break.  I am looking forward to going back to work.  Now see if I say that over the next few days.  Just kidding!  I love my job.  Let me know how it is for you to go back.

Conferences Update

Conferences went well. I met three of my students parents. The ones I met were good. Did anyone else have conferences? Now we are on Spring Break.
