Just a little update on my life as a kindergarten teacher...
I remember when I first decided I wanted to be a special education teacher and how I always said I wanted to create a classroom environment where the students help each other and no matter how different all of them are that we would support each other. I have really been thinking lately about this aspect and how I think my classroom is this way. let me tell you why
My classroom is filled with diverse needs of ten unique little kiddos. i have one with a physical disability, some that are loud, some that don't talk, some that run out of the classroom, and then you have me their teacher that has a physical disability. yes, this is a class that has so many different needs but yet there is such beauty and a sense of acceptance in my classroom. there was one day this week where i just sat there and relished in my beautiful classroom
i think sometimes i get so caught up in the busyness of the day or what i have to do next that i don't stop to realize just how amazing my classroom is. that i don't stop to thank God for placing each of these students into my classroom and making my dream and vision a reality. i am blessed beyond belief and i thank God for every morning when I walk up to get my students and they have a big smile on their face and shout TEACHER!!

one of my students was helping one get his backpack on
another was helping one speak with her iPad
another was pushing in the chair for the one that forgot
another told me what the one student was saying when i couldn't understand him
another was showing a student how to put the puzzles away nicely
then we went to the bus and my kiddos were holding each others hand and no student was left walking alone
