I teach special education. I have a class of elementary aged non-verbal autistic students. Each day brings new challenges and new learnings - for staff and for students.

Sports Day
We had whole school Winter Sports Day this afternoon. The kids all had a great time. Waiting in line and taking turns was challenging, but they managed it without too much fuss. This is such a great skill. One activity was building towers out of cardboard boxes. One student particularly loved this activity so much that he snuck off later to go back to it. It was pretty scary that he went off on his own - but the activity he chose was very appropriate and it was good to see some independence. The look on his face when he was caught was priceless - it was a classic "oh nuts, busted" look. It was also great to see this kind of social awareness - it is a new skill for him.
