School started this past Thursday for the kids and this past Monday for me! Oh yeah, I am going back to school as well! This year is going to be a very busy year! 
I must say I have a great group of kids.  I have a lot of work ahead of me, but seeing the growth is worth the long hours.  I do feel I need this long weekend to get my VERY long to-do list done.  Does anyone else feel like their list just keeps getting longer and longer!  I add four things for each one I get to cross off.
My goal for the weekend is to make a small binder for each student.  Each binder will look a little different, because each child has a different set of needs.  The cover will have their schedule for the day on it and inside will have their different needs.  I am thinking of using smaller binders.  Any tips from any special education teacher out there?!
Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!

Hello all!
With a new school year full of many changes coming up, I figured I would start a blog to share all the fun and exciting changes this year has in store.
A little bit about me, I am starting my third year of teaching in North Carolina.  I teach special education in the elementary setting. I previously was a resource teacher and will now be teaching a self contained k-5 setting.  I am not originally from NC, but moved down here after college and being offered a teaching job.  I have two amazing dogs that are a little spoiled.
I love teaching and working with young kids.  Oh did I mention I am going back to school for my Masters! It is going to be a busy year.
Now I need ideas for a blog name! I was thinking something along the lines of A room where all gifts are celebrated. But I am thinking that is way to long!  Any ideas?
Thanks!
