Primary ASD

Yay! Here’s to my 9th teaching year…can’t believe I’m almost hitting the double digits!!

I’m now officially in back to school mode (can’t believe the summer is over already!). Thanks for continuing to follow along on my teaching journey… I promise to get back to posting regularly on here. Crazy to think that this was my VERY FIRST classroom ever!! I remember my mom and sister helped me clean out and organize this learning space for a whole week! I wish I took more pictures of my previous classrooms… trust me, I’ve had my share of classrooms all the way from east Scarborough to west Etobicoke. With each one I see how I’ve changed and developed as a teacher, both in terms of what I choose to feature on the walls, story books I read and include in the classroom library, learning activities, and materials I use (aka. the third teacher), all the way to how organized I am (both from an administrational way and physical features like how I label and use the same bins…no mismatch for me!). Though I’ve changed many classrooms throughout my 9 years, I have some sentimental pieces that I bring to each classroom such as my number line and letter train anchor chart which I bought when I first got my acceptance letter into my masters program. I can’t believe I’m entering my 9th year of teaching!!

Happy everyone! We had a jam packed fun filled day of various activities that had to do with 100! Although I had only 3 of them today, my students were so excited to work on these various multi-sensory activities that were tailored to their individual needs....activities included: writing 100 words they can spell correctly, using a dictionary to come up with 100 words that describe them, counting by tens in both number and word form, building a stable structure with 100 mini solo cups, solving math addition and subtraction problems in 100 seconds, as well as performing various physical activities 100 times. And of course, as it’s my little tradition I’ve been doing over the past few years, we had a cake (aka birthday cake according to my students). We all had such a blast!
P.S. and look at the difference you make in children’s lives and how you inspire them to write and illustrate books. Your books make such a huge difference, even more than you know ❤️.
