@EDUwithEmily I have a husky and I feel your pain! I only buy antlers, bones and Kong brand now because he’s just too strong 🥴🤣

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@NicholasFerroni I would call my students’ case manager and the director of special services to report what I saw immediately.

@mrdearybury I think if you take a book, you should leave a book if you are financially in a place to do so.

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@HeatherL114 I agree that the students have a say in classroom rules and other aspects however, at the end of the day, I am the teacher and my priorities are safety and learning. Once those two goals are achieved, other great things can take place

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@HeatherL114 To be devils advocate, as a special Ed teacher I do need classroom structure or i have behaviors that are presented that impede on the safety of my students

@JonathonPuIIiam Yes I do make copies, the physical activity is more engaging for my students! I give my f2f students a schedule to follow throughout the day while I do small groups via google meets

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

Those who work with challenging behavior in the #sped classroom: what is your biggest piece of advice for a teacher dealing with this for the first time? #edchat #teachersconnect

“Miss Alfonso, you look like you’re 31...”

So oddly specific 🥴🤣

PG pics only though, please!

“I’ll wait” 🤣

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@EDUwithEMILY That’s so odd because wouldn’t it be the same if the families came to the school to pick up lunches, materials and tech tools?

@PresidentPat Holidays around the world: Hanukkah, the letter g/d, place value, addition to 20, addition to 10, comprehension of what we’re reading, how to write a paragraph

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@AyaAcademy My phone “miraculously” doesn’t show my texts anymore and will say that I read them. I’m missing all of these notifications and responding like 2+ hours later!

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

Last week in our #HolidaysAroundTheWorld unit, we learned about Sweden + St. Lucia Day! This week, we’re learning about #Hanukkah + Israel #teachertwitter anything imperative I need to introduce to my students this week?

@EDUwithEMILY Our special Ed department will have parents coming in to get their chrome books set up. Our librarian, tech specialist and tech teacher has had presentations and made info graphics / letters home for quick tips and guides

@EDUwithEMILY I’m Allison Alfonso, I teach K-2 Multiple Disabilities in NJ! Our special Ed department is hybrid and the rest of the school is virtual. This is my 3rd year teaching

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@EDUwithEMILY As a reply to myself, I understand the need for Maslow. However, my sped kinder-2nd kids also need to learn when certain behaviors are appropriate. We do a lot of social skills so eating in the middle of our meets can sometimes deter that

[Allison Alfonso @allisonnalfonso]

@EDUwithEMILY My school allows it. I’m against it because I find it distracting. When it becomes a distraction I will say something to my students. But I can’t do too much since school finds it ok
