For my new followers from this summer: I host a monthly twitter chat during school months called #GlobalSPED. It was born out of my trip to Bangladesh where I mentored some of that country's first Special Ed teachers. So, for half an hour Sunday night-we chat live.
(more)
Though #GlobalSPED focuses on teachers who work with kids with special needs, our topics, advice, and experience spread from general ed classrooms, Inclusive classrooms, every level of #SpecialEducation, home schooling and specialized schools. (more)
I should probably point out, that I'm the crazy guy/wizard behind the curtain making all the gifs-setting the tone. I just ask the questions, but the incredible information that #GlobalSPED teachers share will give you an incredible resource for your classroom/child.
(more)
Generally #GlobalSPED is a platform for the best practices we are using in our classrooms. Imagine having a teacher buddy down the room who has seen it all and knows of some resources you.

That's us. Modern technology has made us teaching buddies.

(more)
Generally, I keep politics out of things, but the idea of #GlobalSPED is we share best practice. The US Dept of Ed and @BetsyDeVosED have failed us. They have ignored best practice. This week I'm afraid that topic is coming up. Our students deserve better.
(more)
So, new followers, that explains #GlobalSPED-share out about us. Send us those new teachers who don't know what to do for math, or whose class isn't invited on the field trip. You will find some of the professional friends that you needed to know.
(more)
And we always invite #SchoolNurses #SpecialNeedsNurses to #GlobalSPED. We've been honored to have #MedTwitter give us safety advice. Before the nurses say anything: we have a gif inspired by my medically fragile classroom nurses who would like you to wash your hands.

NOW.
(more)
So that is #GlobalSPED. This week we will be sharing the best tools we are implementing during these crazy covid times. Some of us are now doing live/broadcast classrooms-Let's hear about some of the successes.

I'm looking forward to an amazing conversation!
Sunday 6 pm Pacific.

Something really wonderful happened today. One of those moments that just shows you you are doing things right.

I was at the hospital (I got kneed in the head today and have my second concussion in as many months) and while in the pharmacy...
(more)
I overheard a woman say she would have to skip one of her prescriptions because she couldn't afford it. She sat down across from me and I just couldn't stand it.

I walked over and asked her how much it was-I could afford it so I told her I would pay.

She started crying.
(more)
She went and told the pharmacist so I followed and asked them to do 120 days (they could only do 90). They had to figure it all out before I could pay so the woman and I sat together and talked.

She had this lovely energy and told me she works as violence counselor.

SO, I shared my Romper Room picture and people were asking questions... and the truth is, I have a few very vivid memories, I remember what it was like at school being that kid who was on TV, but the nuts and bolts of it all- like I said, I was little at the time.
(more)
I read up on the show and discovered a few things... and one of those things, as you will see, completely horrifies me.

The kids on the show changed out every two weeks-I was a substitute kid and now it makes more sense why I was on that much-if a kid didn't work out...
(more)
But here is the humiliating part...LOL.

That was normal childhood to me. Every kid got to keep their Romper Stompers and the puppets, I had tons of them. I slept with puppets. I did all the Romper Room stuff as routine.

Then I read about the Romper Room Prayer...

I'm kind of doing two things:
Setting up a permanent display at school-just one tooth (or more) would be cool!!
I'm also dividing up my own collection, taking donations to make mineral sample collections for my kids-for that I need 7. (that's a lot of teeth!)
I don't mind sharing more details! I work in a special school where the kids come for evaluation-and to chill out for a bit-with the goal being returning to the regular school system. They miss out on a lot of those special things bigger schools have. (more)
But they have these cool interior windows that can easily become a display case, behind unbreakable glass! They are low and super perfect to create a really rich display area for our kids to visit. I have permission to take one over, put in acrylic shelves (more)

A #ChristmasEve #TwitterStory from my house to yours.

I love my Christmas ornaments. Some are Victorian. Some are from my parent's first tree together in 1959. Some mean a lot. Many are from estate sales.

Mike bought me this German snake circa 1900.

(more...) A photograph of old looking Christmas ornaments made out of
In 1960 my parents bought a box of Shiny Brite satellite-shaped ornaments. They have been my favorite ornaments my entire life.

This year Mike picked one up and asked about it. I told him the whole story. He promptly broke it.
(more) The photo shows more vintage Christmas ornaments hanging on
He felt TERRIBLE and I kept telling him it was OK. They ae fragile. I told him the story of my friend Carol (whose mom turns 100 Jan 7! Want to send her a card?) whose giant German Shepherd took out a tree of 100 year old + Victorian ornaments.

Mike still felt awful!

Beth: It's dark-I can't see-up ahead there is something in the road-I'm going too fast to stop-I'm getting really scared and suddenly-just as I am about to run over it-(She starts getting loud, she is scared and unnerved!!) IT STANDS UP!! (She screams-totally freaking out)

My mother, with her broken foot, showed up tonight with two big boxes of food. Instead of resting her foot, she baked a turkey, made dressing, veggies, mashed potatoes, gravy, jello w/ pears like when I was a kid, a tub of my favorite olives, a can of cranberry (more)
De-canned and in her GOOD TUPPERWARE, no less. Also a can of whipped cream a pumpkin pie for my best friend James, who rents our first floor, and a cheese cake for Mike. An entire cheesecake. "I brought you half a turkey, I hope that's enough." (more)
Me: You didn't have to do so much work!
Mom: I realized yesterday I was the only one in my family who was alone.
Me: We were going to see you, you just weren't going to cook!
Mom: Enjoy your dinner!
Me: (bringing out her box) Here is a ham, a bottle of wine (more)
