Back to School Time!

Wow! It's back to school time. This summer seems like it has flown by. I'm getting excited about the new year. This year I'll be teaching a 4th grade special needs class in a rural elementary school in Florida. I've decided to have the kids read Willy Wonka as our first book of the year. Along their reading journey I'll bring in all kinds of goodies for the kids based on the story line. I figured I'd start out announcing the book by hiding "golden tickets" all around the classroom and having the kids each find their golden tickets. Then I'd have bubbles for the "bubble chapter" of the book...and of course chocolate.

Additionally, I will be exploring using our school's new SMART Board and I'm really looking forward to that. Lately, I've been so inspired to keep learning more about educational technology. My summer experiences abroad really taught me a lot regarding ed tech. The whole ILET experience really inspired me both as a scholar and as a teacher. Thus, seeing ed tech and special ed from an international perspective was truly a blessing. Well, thanks for visiting Teachers, Blogs, and the Law. I'm off to work on some of my lesson plans...including blogs of course. : )
