Let Me Explain..

First, our student's last day was on Friday!! Woo hoo! I am 2 1/2 days away from having completed my second year of teaching! I love the last day. The "send off" is always a perfect closing to the end of the year. Maybe your school does this too. All of the teachers & staff stay on the bus platform and wave as the school busses lay on their horns all the way out of the parking lot. It's too cute, I love it!


Okay..now on to business. I hinted with a photo about the upcoming changes coming my way. Yes, I will be teaching students with autism, which I have done in the past, however, this is going to be much different. Our Early Childhood Program is set up so that students come either 2 1/2 days, 3 1/2 days, 4 1/2 days, or 4 full days. It all depends on their needs. Next year I am going to be the teacher for the 4 full day classroom. I will be meeting the needs of the students in our program with autism or severe disabilities. I will have less students, but, much more involved students. I will still be teaching 3 & 4 year olds. I am excited about this new adventure, but nervous, because, well, it's NEW! I've already received lots of positive comments on my first post, but I am more than open to any success stories, or suggestions to try in the classroom that have worked for you! 

I hope you still plan on sticking around this blog even though my "student population" is changing. I hope to still be offering just as many great teaching resources!

the very first school I worked at did the send off on the last day - I loved it! However, now my district has completely cut off funding for bussing, other than special ed bussing, so this tradition is gone, for the time being at least! Congrats on summer break and finishing year two - I have a minimum day on monday and then I'm free too!!!

Wow! I know you will do great next year. Best wishes on your new adventure!

Our send off on the last day looks the same way. Except this year one bus had to stop to let a little guy off because he had to go to the bathroom.

I love working with children with autism. I have only worked with them in a regular Ed situation but I loved everyone I have taught. How lucky you are to get to spend time with such special little ones. Good luck, I am envious.

I think it is awesome what you are doing! I will stay around and read....I love your blog!

BTW...we do a kick line and wave as the students leave on the last day. The bus drivers honk as they go by too! It's a tradition.

I love your waving goodbye picture! Too cute! My school has a similar goodbye strategy called 'memory mile" where we let all the 6th and 7th graders out first and then all the teacher line up and say good bye to the 8th graders as they leave for the last time!

We don't have this tradition (high school), but I should come up with some tradition for the students who leave my classroom. I started a "note-giving" tradition with my seniors and they responded so well to it! Congrats on finishing your year and can't wait to see the next part of your journey!
