Final post

I am so excited to be finishing up the semester! I have one more class and I will be a masters graduate! This semester has been a little rough for me! I finally became a full lead teacher! My dad has been in and out of hospital with cancer treatments! I know I was not really able to put my all into this class which really makes me sad because I love these classes! My hope coming into this class was to learn more strategies for working with children with diversity. I work with at risk children and it seems that every year we get a tougher group of children. This year I have 13 ESL children and 5 English! I have 3 African American and 2 Caucasian. Five of my children have IEP's and 6 see a behavior specialist! I have never seen a regular preschool class get hit as hard as I have this year with behavior issues! My hopes are to get as much as I can from these classes as I can to become a better teacher!
