The Newest Digs

Its been just over a semester since I have had my own classroom again. Here are a few quick pics just so you can see where I hang out everyday!

Yes, I am room 108...please do not stalk me!
Look at that visual schedule! If you teach students with Autism...you know this is how we roll!
I did say students with Autism correct? Yup, this is just one of my students getting in some sensory time on a therapy ball with a recycling bin on his head. I am not sure what sensory input he gets from the bin on his head...it was not recommended by his OT, it was self applied!
Look at all those cool job boxes I inherited with the classroom!
Did I mention I work with kids with Autism yet? Do you see the organization in these buckets? We don't just sort, we line up in perfect little rows!

New Directions

I feel like I do not post on this blog as often as I would like. I am wondering if it is because I do not feel I have enough good teaching stories at the moment, or I simply lack time. I am hoping that by expanding this blog to something more than just my daily life as a teacher I will be able to utilize it more. Do not get me wrong...a good portion will be dedicated to teaching, no doubt about it. I just feel this would also be a good venue for me to share much more. After all, teachers also have hobbies outside of the classroom. Some of mine include drinking wine, cooking, working out and spending ridiculous amounts of time on time wasting websites such as Pinterest! I am thinking that when I stumble across something I love that I will post it on here. Hopefully this new direction will help me become a more avid blogger for my fives and tens of fans!

Thats all for now, I will see you all again soon. Hopefully with some yummy recipe ideas you can't live without!
