This week I'm really starting to work on preparing for my new classroom. I will be heading back to college on Wednesday to talk with one of my professors from grad school. He is going to be helping me design my behavior plan and procedures. Now that I'm thinking more about next year I would love to network with other special educators. I'm hosting a blog hop for special educators to meet each other and give their best advice for the new school year. If you teach any type of special education please join in!
To join in the blog hop create a post that describes what type of special education you teach, what grade, how long you've been teaching and then your best piece of advice for starting a new school year off right. You could also include a link to an old post that you think would be helpful. Make sure to link back to my blog and come back to meet other special educators who have linked up! You can grab the button above to add to your post if you'd like.
I'll get us started!
Enjoy linking up at the bottom of the page. Feel free to use my graphic below to add your own information in.
Hi Jamie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a blog hop. Thanks for hosting! :) I found you on the middle school blog log and am following you now.
Welcome to special education! You will find it one of the most rewarding and probably most difficult things you do as a teacher. Although in my book the rewards outweigh the difficulty by far! I intend to join your bloghop soon!

Jamie, thanks for the bloghop! I love this idea!!!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I highlighted the picture and then clicked "link", just like if you were adding a link to text. . . good luck!
Thanks for hosting this blog hop! I love learning new strategies I can use. I also love Whole Brain Teaching. This is a new concept for me and I am so excited to try it out this year in my classroom. I am especially excited about Oral Writing. I used it a bit at the end of the year and saw dramatic results in just a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteOral writing? Is that part of Whole Brain Teaching? I will have to read into that! Glad you joined in the bloghop!

Fun!! I'd love to find more special educ blogs! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHave you read The First Days of School by Harry Wong? That helped me with my routines and procedures! I teach K-5 emotional/behavioral support, so procedures are sooo important. I spend my first week completely focused on routines and procedures, with a little bit of academics. I made a classroom routines and procedures set that's illustrated and written (for non-readers and for kids who need text) that I can send you if you'd like it.
Here's my procedures/routines set http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Classroom-Routines-and-Procedures-Printable-Posters-for-Classroom-Management-832450
And my picture schedule set

I wish I had these when I started out, so honestly, if you like them they are yours for free. Just give me your email.
I'm linking up with your blog hop now! So excited to have found you! Thanks again!!
So glad you joined in the blog hop! I would love for you to email me those products. jmemichael1@gmail.com
DeleteIt is nice to see so many special education blogs out there! Thanks again!
Jamie
Also, another behavior support girl?! I am sooooo excited! :)

I signed up yesterday and tried to blog from my phone since I am on vacation but that was a major fail, lol! I finally got access to a friend's old computer and was able to post. I love blog hops that are dedicated to special education teachers since so many of us work in isolation. I look forward to checking out a few I hadn't seen before, and to reading more of your blog. Good luck with your school year!

Hello! After 18 years in various K-2 settings, I'm moving to a small Pre-K ESE classroom this fall. Needless to say I'm reading everything I can get my hands on, looking for ideas, and mentor(s). Thanks for starting this Bloghop! Sandi (now teaching in FL)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this blog hop! I hope you have a wonderful year teaching special education and that your blog brings you as much joy as mine has over the years. It is wonderful to get to know other special education teachers and share ideas together! I look forward to looking at some of the other blogs on here!

ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! Thanks for hosting this blog hop! I'm looking forward to learning from all of these special educators.
ReplyDeleteI am a new K-2 self contained special education teacher. Help...kind of nervous... Just wanting advice/ideas on beginning school year.
ReplyDeleteHi Margie! I'm glad you found the blog hop. There are so many great blogs here to use for inspiration. I will be posting many other posts about starting back to school. Let me know if there is anything specific you would want to read about.
