Today was my first of 6 days in my classroom before the kids come! So exciting! Last week I attended a training specific to teaching autism and loved every single second of it! I am like a little sponge taking in any information that will help my students with autism be more successful. I already knew much of the content that was discussed and taught but we were able to put it into practice and then watched how well it worked with real students with autism! Now I am able to put all I learned into practice with my students!
This week I had training that will eventually lead to me having a mentor which I am also really excited about. My three months at the elementary school were difficult because I felt like I was on my own. This time I will have a mentor (and many other people in both the district and in my school) to turn to when I have so many questions! YAY!!
As I said, I finally got into my classroom today and was able to see IEPs and start planning how I will run the classroom. I have so much to do in the next week before the kids come the following Monday but I am so excited this time is here! So thankful that I followed God's plan for me last year as a TA which then led to the long term sub job. Everything is in the right place and I am so ready to begin my first year of teaching!
Goodbye summer! Hello 2013-2014 School Year!!
