@tracyhales7 @HartRollins YES! I totally feel this, I am more confident knowing the laws and having "written" an IEP.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@RobertJ23231661 @HartRollins I felt this same way, I really appreciate the effort put into real time interaction but it does make me a bit nervous.

@HartRollins I've been loving anything Taylor Swift has been releasing, not sure if they are "pump up" jams.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins I am honestly not the biggest fan of them, I found it hard to remember when nothing else in an online class is officially scheduled. I also do not use social media that often so I did not love putting this many opinions out there.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins It's not as overwhelming as it seems, it'll be okay!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins I have learned that there are many approaches to teaching and that I need to find my approach as opposed to finding the one "right" way as there isn't one.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins The hardest part for me has been that I never stopped working as I worked at a residential school for most of covid. It was a bit nerve-wracking.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins The highlight of my semester so far has been learning about the "behind the scenes" actions and paperwork of sped teachers. It's so nice to finally fully understand the acronyms.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@CallieNorrell @HartRollins I agree with this, earlier the better!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@AmyCWilliams98 @HartRollins One school I worked at had a whole kitchen to work with students in, it was pretty neat!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins Tacos, coke and sweet tea!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins I would say that my consistency with small tasks (making lunches, walking the dog, switching the laundry) is pretty good. One way to teach this is to model it in the classroom as well with small classroom tasks.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins It is never too early to start talking about post grad plans in an age appropriate way! I start with my preschoolers by asking "what do you want to be when you grow up" and talking about a variety of jobs people have.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins Definitely post graduation plans of any kind. My students are six, gotta walk before you run!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins I currently work in preschool and so independent living skills such as "pottying" and eating healthy foods is definitely something I teach a lot of!

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins While they are all important to making a happy and functional person I believe ind living is the "most important" as it helps people live independently.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@CallieNorrell @HartRollins I agree that it is so important to know your student's triggers.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@VDEN04 @HartRollins I miss vacationing, hopefully we can all travel again safely soon.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins My favorite way to relax is to watch some reality television with my dogs and partner! Nothing better than Chopped and puppy cuddles.

[Kym Howe @KymHowe16]

@HartRollins In my experience you can build relationships through genuinely showing that you care about the student. When everyone (student included) knows you care and want to help everyone (including you) is happier.
