Well, I got hired on as a special ed teacher 4 days before school started this year. I have never been so stressed... but with a lot of help (thanks to jess for decorating my room) I have survived the first 2 weeks and counting down. I have 13 students ranging from 1st grade to 4th grade and only 2 aids (so if anyone is bored come volunteer in my class!) The kids are really cute and once i can get organized and used to managing my own classroom i can't wait to relax and work one on one with the students more.
