Teaching Special Students: Strategy and A Snack

With a new year I am excited to say that I have a new job that I am overly thrilled about. Just waiting to sign the contract to make it "official". My good bloggy friend Mrs. Dixon is having a linky part to share strategies and a recipe this weekend all through our blogs. One strategy that I have done since I started teaching was to start the year with positive deposits. This means, not only ... View Post

Making Connections Everyday: Thomas

A few years back I had the privilege of being an instructional aide for a 6 year old who was blind, deaf and autistic. Thomas was a delight not only in my everyday at work but has taught me so many things about myself. You may be wondering, how did he communicate? How did he tell you his basic needs? Thomas was fascinated by light of various forms. He had such limited sight that being able ... View Post

Quick Snips- Easy Basic Skills Mastery

Last week in the midst of proctoring state testing, I came up with an idea to help monitor basic skills for my students. I couldn't wait to get home and have time to hash it out so that I could see how it would all work.Knowing that my students (and many others around the world) love the Solve and Snips series that I have created, I wanted it to be similar. I wanted something that was ... View Post

Work Stations Work!

Many of you know that I began teaching Resource Math this year for the first time along with my 7th grade math and Newspaper classes. I am absolutely head over heels in love with these two classes that I have. My 7th Grade Resource Math has a total of 10 students and my 8th Grade has a total of 13. Yep, small classes but we are normally working on up to 5 objectives in each class at the same ... View Post

Saw the doctor via Telehealth yesterday and got my Saw the doctor via Telehealth yesterday and got my official test done today. Hubby had his test done Thursday which has come back positive. 

We have had the symptoms of COVID since Monday so this is just to solidify what our symptoms are. Both of us are beyond miserable with aches, pains, sore everything and it just makes it hard to do anything.

We don’t wish this on anyone, EVER! While it’s survivable it is NOT fun while you are going through sore throat, cough, headaches, chills, feeling hot, chest aches, joint pain from head to toe, and then no taste or smell on top.

I don’t share this for sympathy, I share this ask you to please limit your exposure, wear your mask and wash your hands always.

Yep, we are QUARANTINED at home for the next two w Yep, we are QUARANTINED at home for the next two weeks! @billyjochen.bbr was with a family member this weekend who had a positive test come back today. Nothing any of us did wrong but now we are keeping everyone else safe for precautionary reasons. 

I did wake up this morning (before we found out) feeling horrible but I’m truly praying for a cold, or heck, I would even take the flu. Doubling up on my vitamins and resting to help fight it off as well as taking Cold meds.

Christmas may not look the same for any of us this year but that doesn’t mean the reason and the spirit isn’t there.

We hope you find a way to celebrate your holiday traditions but also be safe as well.
