One of the most important things for a successful teacher to do is reflect upon his/her day. It is crucial that I think about the things that occurred in my classroom and learn from those experiences, not only so that my students may be more successful but also so that I grow as a professional. However, I realized that if I do not record these reflections they often vanish from my memory (or maybe I block them out...). This blog is going to serve as an outlet for me to organize my ideas and concerns so that I can actually refer back to them and use them to mold my teaching. I am determined not to make the same mistakes twice, and not to forget valuable strategies/lessons/procedures that could help make me a better educator.
It is also very important for teachers to get input from other professionals/parents/friends/internet bloggers to help shape these ideas into something useful. So if you have anything you would like to add please comment on my posts with your invaluable suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you!
Remember, it's all about the kids!

I suppose I should mention that I am teaching 1st grade special ed inclusion this year. I have a co-teacher who is a certified special ed teacher as well as two aids (one for the morning and one for the afternoon). There are 18 students in my class this year, 10 boys and 8 girls, and 10 of them are classified as special ed students.
