Welcome back to the classroom after a much-needed break... whether it was winter break, spring break, or maybe a fun-filled weekend!

Let’s talk about what exactly you're supposed to be doing in the special education classroom setting after a break. Pick up where you left off? Start something new? Or go back to basics? There are so many choices!
