Back-to-School and something new/old =)

My Blog and trying new things - wow! the more things change the more they stay the same! An open book diary is how I see this and sometimes it is good to let others know they are not alone and then come to find out - neither are you! Since this is new and unusual for me, I haven't put together this site yet - but now that I know - I will!
Back to school is also my favorite place to be-I look forward to seeing the children and how they've grown in just a couple of months. I teach special needs children in reading and language arts and have loved doing so for some 25+ years. Technology has always been a part of the classroom but I dare say - these days - my students are teaching me, things change so quickly - or do they? hehehe
A $25.00 gift card for my classroom would probably be used toward a new book with items to go with that book. I love books!!! I try to get my students very involved with books by acting out or re-enacting and use as many props or games to do so - so why not - let's have more books!!
You can also win a $25.00 gift card with a back-to-school comment. There is a blogger
who has wonderful ideas and printables and obviously has been doing this much longer than I have . . . . take a look and get involved . . . that's how I am getting started!
