I have two autistic children in my classroom, and they are probably the most precious students ever. (Actually, I think I was blessed with the most adorable 3rd grade class ever. I am so thankful.)
.
Anyway, while on the playground today, one of them, we can call him "J" decided that he was going to be King Kong. He climbed up on part of the spiral thing on the playground (you know, the thing you can climb up that is in a spiral shape that no one can really figure out what they were for?), holds on with one hand, leans out, and starts beating on his chest like a monkey.
I swear, sometimes my kids make my whole day.
I was thinking today that I get too wrapped up in my class and in school work that I forget to think about myself. Funny how teaching can do that to you. I sat down to begin my Christmas and Birthday lists today. Normally, with my birthday 3 weeks away, I would have been finished for a month! I honestly can't think of anything to put on these lists! Any suggestions?
That is so sweet! I have a severely autistic girl in my kindergarten class! They are precious children!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made my list yet either (too busy!) but I plan on putting children's books that are on my list and some cool math things for my classroom! You should put books -- that's always a good idea!!
P.S. I like your new blog layout!
ReplyDeleteThey really are the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteI think I have enough books on my book wish-list to fill up about 4 years of Christmas presents! I just want them all. :)
And thank you, it's still a work in progress though! I wish there were more hours in a day to work on it.
