First the big news: My educational assistant finally arrived and she is wonderful. It has been so nice to have an extra person in the classroom, it's also nice to have someone who notices things that I do not. It's funny though since she started I feel like I have been even busier than before, but she and I have gotten some major things done around the classroom.
The picture above is from a project I finished before my EA started. My classroom is pretty far away from the playground and really far away from the office/nurse, so I decided I needed a playground bag. But of course I had to have one that is super cute but also functional. So off I went to Hobby Lobby. I bought a large canvas bag that zips of course and black and white iron on letters.
This is the front.
And the back.
I am super happy with how it turned out, it is so cute but also super functional. I carry all the essentials of a special ed pre-k teacher. I have tissue, wipes, hand sanitizer, band aides, and a mini trash bag. I also have things specific to my students, such as noise canceling head phones for my students that have noise sensitivity issues, I have my afternoon classes lunch cards since they eat lunch in the cafeteria as soon as they get there, I also have my fire drill binder. It has my evacuation plans for a few of my students as well as the red and green cards that tell my admin if I have everyone when there is an emergency. We don't leave the classroom without the bag and it has been super helpful, I am no longer caught off guard when we are out of the classroom. I highly suggest something like this for all teachers.
I hope everyone is enjoying the transition to fall. I sure am and fall here means Balloon Fiesta :)
Here is a picture from the balloon that came to my school this past Friday.
Thanks for reading :)
