It's been a while, as my sister pointed out on my Facebook page ;) So here is my latest update!


Things seem to be going really well (KNOCK ON WOOD) in my classroom!  L is pushing out in Gen Ed for Math in the afternoon now, so he spends about 2-3 hours out, which is an improvement!  M will be pushed out more after Christmas break. C is doing just fine with the amount of time he spends out, and R is actually coming back to me more for some one-on-one.  I think, for the moment, I am pleased with where we are at :)

Some days I really fear that most of my time is spent with Behavior Management, rather than instructing the boys... By some days I mean most days.  I brought this up during my Team Meeting and some of the other professionals in the Special Ed department assured me that I can only teach as much as the kids let me, unless I set higher expectations.  I HAVE high expectations for these kiddos, but I think it would be wise to let THEM know what I expect, and maybe they'll work harder to meet them :)  All I can do is try!

I guess that is all for now!  I am Specially Educated because I have wonderful people who support me, both in the school and out of the school.  I feel truly blessed!
