I have enjoyed subbing in the primary autism classroom district. However, I am exhausted! I am constantly counting heads to make sure everyone is where they belong (not bolting down the hall) and working. A teacher has been hired. I will be mentoring her over the next week. I have the lesson plans basically done for the week. However, once she takes over, I'm done. I will be there for support and direction. She is going to get some special training from the autism team and from someone about the self-contained curriculum. I told her once she gets her own account on the curriculum to just play with it and investigate the entire site.
