Welcome! Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world wide web. I started this blog as a resource for myself to remember my first year of teaching. Oh yes, I am a first year teacher. A little background about me. I am 34 years old and married to a great man. We have no children of our own as of yet but have lots of furbabies running around. I graduated from Clemson University in 1999 with a degree in Recreational Therapy. I worked in a Nursing Home for about 8 years before heading to a special needs school. For the last 5 years I have been a Recreational Therapist and Behavior Interventionist with Emotionally Disturbed children. I absolutely adored those kids and learned so much from them in the process! Most importantly, I learned that I wanted to be in a classroom - a classroom full of children with Special Needs. I completed my Masters Degree and my 30 hours above this past July and started my job in August. I am at the same school however in a different division. I have 6 children in my classroom, all boys, all of whom are diagnosed with Autism. They are curious, tough, and the delights of my day. I hope this blog can be an insight, and maybe a resource, for others who are also learning from kiddos with Autism. Welcome to Room 322.
