Hmm... that's actually not a bad idea. Thank you!
Very good points, both of you. Thank you for your input. While I was aware of the politics of switching positions within my own district, I...
First of all, HELLO A-Z! LTNS! I actually found a very old thread of mine from March 2010 when I was doing an old blog post search. So cool to...
Thanks for your input, gang. I guess I'll just get rid of the ratty books and try to just straighten them up. Maybe put some away so it won't be...
I took over teaching in this classroom two years ago. I inherited a large collection of big books. They're stored in a wire "crate" thingie that...
:thumb: Wow. Very well said. I found out last week that the two classroom paras in the building will be switching places this year. So...

One thing that I've found is that you have to play in to their strengths AND try to give them something they LOVE to do at least once a week. My...
I try to PM every OTHER Friday - so twice per month. One Friday I'll do math, and the other Friday I'll do reading. Works out pretty well. Most...

Hmm, multiple disabilities. Does that mean severe? If it's just learning disabilities, you can't go wrong with Fred Jones "Tools for Teaching"...
I'd check on the general education forum. They'll probably have more info on apps like that. All of my apps are K-2. Sorry.
:lol: I totally hear ya! I made the mistake of "liking" too many teacher's facebook pages and every day I get some new update about what HUGE...
Updated, Gang. Plus I'm reviewing Fred Jones. I'm my own little book club.
