As a mobile teacher with no classroom of my own, my resolution is to find ways to keep myself and my students organized, to figure out how to use a word wall without walls and a room escape without a room.

My New Years Goal is to push my kids to excell beyond others expectations. I teach special education and many people do not expect my kids to be able to do the things that do. I have high expectations for my students and they always surprise me by going above and beyond what I expect.
