I teach in a special needs unit in a comprehensive school so that's 11-16 year olds.
My main subjects this year are literacy, numeracy, science, CDT, Welsh studies, outdoor education, social skills, but it varies and I have taught almost every subject.
There is a big emphasis on life skills in all subjects.
I do love working with the kids but the paperwork is very frustrating and takes all the joy out of it - I suspect there are many other jobs where that happens.

I taught 20 years in special education classrooms ... loved the teaching, loved the kids, got tired of the paperwork.

I'm still trying to help my 60 year old developmentally disabled profoundly deaf brother. The paperwork is just one of the things in my way. I've decided to make mulch out of all the wooden heads and paper.

Ok....I’m not quite done yet, but since yesterday was Easter and today Easter Monday, i figured I’d share a progress report on the latest wooden project.

As you all most certainly recall, here was the start.

And here’s where we are today. I’m toying with adding a splash of gold leaf, then a nice final finish. But, it’s too sunny and nice to be inside...

Ok. Back outside....I have 10 bags of shredded mulch to put around our perennial garden and rose bushes.
Yip I agree it needs some patterning on it.

Good Tuesday Everyone.
Last night I got my box for the torts outside. Now I just need to get the insulation and a few other things and then the babies will be set for the cold days. I now put them outside for during the day and they come inside during the night. As night time is cold for the little ones. But hopefully the box will sort that all out.
Anyway have a good Tuesday and don't do anything I wouldn't. [emoji6]

Interesting. This happens to me occasionally with other peeps pix. Then later, viewable.

I see them!
I see them too. Sometimes just 1 or 2 pix out of a series will load, but later on they are there. Really weird!

Good morning all, after such a long weekend, I keep thinking it's Monday today.
Whatever day you think it is, hope it's a good one.
I have 2 appointments today.
Physio for one leg, GP for the other.
Hopefully the GP will refer me to get the clicky, painful knee sorted out sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile stuff to do, so will see you later.

Good luck with your appointments Lyn.

School starts tomorrow for me:( but just a few more months until I finish Secondary school and study Animal management at college. I can’t wait:D
