I love spring. Nuff said.
Well maybe not, I love winter, too &
summer and fall. I like seasons that’s why I’m chilling in the big OH-IO. haha.

But, Spring. Being able to see trees
turning green, flowers blooming, and butterflies growing this time of year is
my favorite.

Butterflies. Oh yes. I bet you were all
on the edge of your seats wondering how well my class’ caterpillars have
faired, I mean after all, one did get thrown.

I wish I could share with you the
reactions that I received from my student’s when they saw what was happening. It
was priceless. They were all very excited.

So excited in fact, I have kids, begging
me, I repeat, begging me to stay in the class and not go to the inclusion
times. I tell them we will wait until they get back to talk about anything and
that is the only way that they are able leave the room.

You can find it here. Yes. It’s Free.
You may have already heard about it. I’m
not sure. I’ve gotten a good response so far. I have to give a shout out to The 3am Teacher, Michelle. I contacted her a week or so ago and asked her if she
was able to make some Autism Awareness Clip Art. She graciously accepted my
request and a week later, voila. She posted A HUGE 4 Piece Set. It’s pretty
amazing. So if you are looking for anyone to make you clip art, check her out.
She is a sweetheart to boot!

EEeek! What am I supposed to do with
these babies?
these babies?
There’s like 32 of them or something. I
plan to file them in a box in my basement somewhere I think, Although my sister
is wanting one so she can use it as blackmail at a later point I’m sure.
