Back in Action

I've been a little MIA lately.  The end of the school year came fast and furious for me.  I had several new 3 year old students and TONS of IEP meetings.  It was a challenging year to say the least.  At the end of the year, I also made a tough, but necessary choice to leave my school in Milwaukee.  I love my students and the staff, but this was best for my family.  My husband is a small town guy who never adjusted well to the city, so after 5 years, we decided to move back to the area where we both grew up.  Having our daughter in November really made it clear that we needed to be closer to our family.

So, we put the house on the market and began making plans to move from one side of Wisconsin to the other.  I took a job with small, rural school district.  I'm very nervous because it's going to be a big change from Milwaukee.  My caseload will be much smaller, but I'm going from teaching K3-K5 Special Ed to K4-5th Special Ed.  I've spent a lot of the summer nervously researching upper grades and trying to make some plans.  I am going to post later this month a before and after of my new classroom.  I've been chronicling some of the prepping on INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK!  Click on the links to check it out!

Since I can't get into my classroom regularly yet, I've been focusing on some new products. I also gave my exisisting sight word writing cards a facelift, Check them out below!

I'm very excited for the coming year and look forward to sharing awesome activities, tips, and pictures with you!!  See you soon!
