Welcome to steemit! I am a teacher as well and have been blogging about my experiences as a substitute. Next Fall I will be teaching 8th grade science. I love your phonics garden that you set up for your students! I was a substitute paraprofessional for an early childhood special education class most of this year, so I can appreciate the work it takes to set up an area like that for the kiddos. Best of luck, I am sure you will love this community!
