Well, we have closed out our school year. Boy, was it a busy year! I have enjoyed getting to work with all my students this year and most notably, our experience with the Promising Practices FIRE Summit. It was pretty amazing to see all the innovations that teachers across the area are doing. I was pleased with the results from the Community-Based Instruction. I only wish that I could continue this program for my students. They were seeing the importance of being able to function in the community. The older students were learning so much and the younger students were learning from the older students. I am much appreciative of this opportunity and hope to experience this again in the future.
