Re: Throwing out titles
Posted by Bo on 10/24/07
OMG, how are we going to pick! They all sound good to me. Someone make a
decision! *I might not enjoy the one on Autism....as I write this one of
my students with autism is screaming and throwing things at the children
napping. I have taught both spe and regular 25 years, got out of spe two
years ago because I was burned out on autism, changed schools and the
last two years at my new school was given three children with autism who
were very severe because they heard "I was good with autism". But any
other book sounds great......This weekend if no one has made a decision,
I will look over what everyone has suggested and pick one! How wonderful
to have "book" teacher/girlfriends. Jo do you remember me, you sent me a
jigsaw puzzle in a golden apples gift exchange years ago! Bo
