What is in a name?

As I reflected on my past teacher blog, I decided it was time for a fresh approach.  That was the easy decision, the tougher decision was what to name this new blog.  "The view from Room 1" seemed like a good fit for a few reasons.  One, my new classroom doesn't have any windows besides the ones in the doors.  Also, I do enjoy the idea of being room 1, has a nice ring to it! :)
Like life, teaching is all about your perspective.  As a special education teacher for students with significant intellectual disabilities, perspective is what you make of it.  I have the coolest seven students that I know and seeing what they can accomplish each and every day is a blast!  What you see at first glance does not represent what you will see if you truly stop and enjoy the moment.
