Elementary aged students go on playground during the regular recess times (that is where I put leisure/recess). Some of our older students still...
Great room :) Looks like its really coming along. I'm hoping I can share mine soon as I did find my camera :).
Off bus (or parent drop off), unpacking, morning routines (each student has an individualized flip book - tasks are dependent on ability)...
teachersk - I just might take you up on that offer at some point as we have a little guy on Phase III right now.
Congrats. Must feel great to be done :).

Zoom - there appears to be both training for PECS and certification for PECS. I was confused too as I was thinking I just had to sit and get for...
You say Zach functions at grade 1-2 level but how old is he? I would for sure set up some kind of visual that gives Zac reminders about what...
