end of week 1!

Have you ever done something that just felt so right? I was so nervous before I started my job, then in the classroom it all felt so natural. It was as if my experience, education, and who I am came together in perfect harmony.

My students are fantastic and my colleagues are so supportive. I couldn't ask to teach in a better environment.

One thing I really love about special education is that while it's kind of a mixed bag, students will take care of each other. Today several students grasped the hands of their peers to help them walk through the halls. And I smiled when one of my students made himself door guardian to prevent wanderers from leaving. It's so great.

Now... planning, planning, and more planning. I know I'm going to make myself very sick of my computer. I'm off and running, especially with my first IEP being due in 15 days!
