I work with an autistic boy we'll call him "Simon". He is extremely smart and takes everything literally. For example, the other day I heard him stomping down the hall and being pretty loud. I walked up to him and asked him to walk with quiet feet. He said in the most serious voice, "Miss Dent, I can't!!! I am sixty-nine pounds and that is heavy. I have to take sixty-nine pound steps." "Simon" makes me smile.
Another funny "Simon" story happened a few months ago when we were reading a book with a lion. It was a non-fictional book which talked about the food chain. After reading a bit, "Simon" ponders and says..."Miss Dent? In the 2nd Coming will their be a food chain? Because I learned that all the animals will live in peace. Right?" Smart boy!

A Day in MY Life as A Teacher! A Little insight on the adventures in my Special Ed Classroom.
Living, Loving, Learning
This is a collection of funny and interesting experiences that have happened at school and in my classroom over the years. I love the children I work with! However, at the same time I can laugh and scream at some of the things they do. In the end I look back and am inspired by them. I don't know who is actually the teacher at times. I learn so much from them!
